Great for Wildlife removal but...
Quick, kind and courteous for removing the wildlife (raccoon) from our attic. Unfortunately, the piece of soffit the raccoon used to get in was left open, and mice got in. I had to hire another company to remove the next pest and fix the space that the raccoon opened. While I realize that AAA Gates mentions specifically that they don't make repairs to roofs and stuff, we had closed the piece of soffit ourselves earlier. It was much harder to do with the raccoon proofing in place.

Hi Anita, thank you for your review and for your kind words about my company. I am sorry if there was a misunderstanding but I wanted to make mention that our company does make repairs to roofs and soffits to keep the animals out but in cases where the animals (especially raccoons) have bent or ripped the aluminum beyond repair, it is extremely difficult to put it back to its original shape. I equate it to crumpling a piece of aluminum foil and then trying to open it up and return it to its "on the roll" form. Repairing damaged aluminum soffit often requires that the homeowner hires an aluminum installation company to install a new piece of aluminum. This was likely explained to you and is what you are referring to when you mentioned we don't make repairs. New aluminum replacement, matching colour, style and size is a service offered by specific companies specializing in this field. While it is possible that mice were entering through the area that you mentioned, it is worth pointing out that mice can fit through a space the size of a dime and unfortunately every home has hundreds of openings that allow mice to enter, making it impossible to completely mouse proof a house. I hope my explanation helps, if you wish to discuss this further I can be reached at bradgates@gateswildlifecontrol.com.
