Squirrel removal / Prevention / Chimney screen
I'd really like to give this company 5/5, but our project hit some snags.
We originally hired Mr. Gates to remove some squirrels in our attic, which should be routine. However, a squirrel tried to get back in, and fell down and got stuck in our chimney. Mr. Gates caught the squirrel with skill. He literally grabbed the little guy out our damper. He definitely knows his wildlife. This part was quite impressive.
The reason one star was docked is he suggested screening our chimney, but removed our chimney cover to do so, assuring no rain would get in despite my concerns otherwise. Well, Murphy's Law, but we got a hard straight rain two days later, and water trickled in and damaged our basement. So I have dock off a star for that. I will say he did come back to fix the job, so this company still gets a fairly high rating for me. Just be careful removing any chimney covers.

Hi Alex, thank you for your review and for commenting on how we returned to resolve both issues. Unfortunately wildlife control is not exact science but by following-up and quickly resolving unexpected situations is of the utmost importance to all of us.
