Squirrel Damage in Your Attic? Here’s How Minnesota Homeowners Can Fix It

Taylor Quinlan • February 17, 2022

Got Squirrels!?

A squirrel is sitting on top of a gutter on a roof.

If you've ever had squirrels living in your attic, you know how annoying that can be!
The scratching and chewing of your framing members, soffit metals, and sometimes wiring can be extremely frustrating, not mention the cost to repair the damage.

Never fear, Twin City Roofing is here!

First things first: A wildlife service company MUST be called.
It can be extremely dangerous to be up on a ladder and have one of our furry friends jump out at us!
This process can take a few days, or even a few weeks depending on how many furry "tenants" you have living in your attic-space.
Once they are "relocated" we can assist in covering up your holes, replacing soft metals that have been destroyed or replace your woodwork that has been damage.
Depending on the severity of the infestation, the repairs can range from anywhere from a few hundred bucks to a few thousand (if things are really bad).

Give us a call today for a free estimate and close your Home Hotel for good!
