Woodpecker Repair

Woodpecker damage is more than a cosmetic issue; every hole is an open door for water and pests. We approach woodpecker repair by treating it as both a siding fix and a moisture-control job, so your home stays protected long after the birds move on.

We start with a close inspection to find every puncture-not just the obvious ones at eye level. Many homes have clusters of small holes higher up near soffits, trim, and corners. Once we map the damage, we remove any loose fibers, check for hidden rot, and determine whether sections need patching or full board replacement.

We do not rely on quick caulk smears. Instead, we use exterior-grade fillers or matching material, shaping and sanding the repair so it blends with the original profile of your siding or trim. On textured surfaces, we recreate the pattern so that once painted, the repair disappears into the existing finish instead of standing out as a flat, shiny spot.

After the patches cure and are sanded smooth, we prime the repaired areas with products designed for exterior exposure. Then we color-match and repaint, feathering into surrounding sections so the touch-up does not leave visible "patch squares." This process seals the surface against water intrusion, helps prevent insects from nesting in old cavities, and restores the clean lines of your exterior.

If you have had repeated attacks in the same area, we can also talk through practical deterrent options while we are onsite. The end result is simple: solid siding, no open holes, and a finish that looks like nothing ever happened-without the long-term headaches that come from leaving woodpecker damage untreated.
