Woodpecker Damage
We at Mekan Construction patch holes, reinforce surfaces, and apply deterrent-compatible finishes to repair woodpecker damage effectively. Woodpeckers often peck at stucco or EIFS exteriors seeking insects or nesting, creating holes up to 2-3 inches that expose insulation and invite moisture or pests. Repair involves cleaning the hole, filling with expanding foam or compression plugs for support, then patching with stucco mix and texturing to match. For prevention, we incorporate deterrents like mesh or reflective tape during fixes. Our premium materials and craftsmanship ensure seamless, long-lasting restorations that protect against recurrence while maintaining aesthetic appeal for residential properties.
