Homes Protected In Central Texas
Small Entry Point. Compounding Damage.
Schedule Your Roof Consultation
Squirrels, rats, and raccoons exploit gaps and weakened sections in fascia, soffit, and roof penetrations to access the attic. A small gap that wouldn’t concern most homeowners is an open door to an animal looking for shelter.
Once inside, the damage compounds quickly: chewed wiring, compressed or soiled insulation, and structural damage to the entry point itself that widens with continued use.
A repair that doesn’t address why the animal got in to begin with is a temporary fix. Animals that have used an entry point before will work to reopen it, particularly if the surrounding material is still weakened. Ark’s repair process addresses both the immediate damage and the underlying vulnerability that allowed access in the first place.
Many pest control companies offer to “seal up” the entry point as part of their removal service. It’s worth understanding what that typically means before assuming the structural problem has been solved.
Pest control technicians are trained to remove animals and prevent re-entry, not to assess or repair structural roofing damage. A quick patch over a chewed fascia board, a foam seal over a compromised soffit gap, or caulk applied over damaged flashing can look like a fix on the surface while leaving the underlying damage unaddressed, or worse, trapping moisture against wood that’s already compromised. Ark has seen cases where a pest control “repair” created a hidden moisture problem that wasn’t discovered until months later, when the damage had spread well beyond the original entry point.
If an animal has accessed your attic, the entry point is a structural issue first and a pest issue second. Ark repairs the actual damage and seals the access point correctly. If live animals are still present, that’s the moment to bring in a wildlife removal service alongside Ark’s repair work, not instead of it.
The oak and cedar canopy that defines neighborhoods across Georgetown, Round Rock, and the surrounding Hill Country communities creates direct roof access for squirrels and raccoons in a way that more open suburban environments don’t. Mature tree coverage near a roofline is a known risk factor for animal entry, and a significant share of Central Texas homes have exactly that kind of tree proximity.
Ark not only replaced my roof, they totally redone my home's exterior. The best-looking work I have ever had done. Nice to have a local Georgetown business right up the road.
The company president is personally committed to excellence from start to finish. He conducted a detailed survey, including an inspection from inside the attic and a drone overview. One of the best experiences we have ever had with a contractor.
Luke and his team were very professional and good at communicating throughout the whole process. They took care of everything and made the work pretty painless. Don't hesitate to give them a chance.
