  • Prevention-only jobs (mesh or spikes alone) are acceptable; only items listed on the quote are included.

HUMANE RESULTS & TIMING

INSTALLATION METHODS

  • Spikes are adhered or mechanically fastened per substrate and manufacturer guidance.
  • We avoid roof penetrations whenever reasonably possible; any necessary fasteners are sealed.

STANDARD WARRANTY – 1 YEAR

  • One (1) year workmanship/materials warranty on installed mesh and spikes. If birds gain access under protected panels or perch on spiked areas due to our materials or workmanship, we will repair/restore those covered areas at no charge.
  • Exclusions: pre-existing roof/panel issues; acts of God/extreme weather; damage/alteration by owner/contractors/roofers; new equipment added after install; animals other than birds; areas not treated by us; normal wear; cosmetic residue from sealants/adhesives.

EXTENDED WARRANTY – OPTIONAL 2 OR 3 YEARS
