Woodpecker Hole Repair: The Essentials
You're busy. Here is what actually matters, from our own job records - not marketing copy.
How woodpecker hole repair runs
- Site assessment and written scope - based on what's visible, stated plainly.
- Surfaces prepared to PDCA P14-06; repairs before coatings, always.
- Premium Sherwin-Williams / Benjamin Moore products matched to the surface.
- Daily cleanup; final walkthrough to PDCA inspection standards.
Small problems compound
Most of the expensive projects in our records started as small deferred ones. If you're reading this page, the right time for an assessment is probably this season - a written quote costs you nothing and holds for 30 days.
What we'll tell you up front
- Estimates cover what's visible; hidden conditions are priced with your approval before work continues.
- Anything not specifically in the written scope is excluded - so read ours; it's itemized.
These lines come straight from our written estimates. Contractors who don't say them up front bill you for them later.
