WOODPECKER-RESISTANT EIFS COATING | EDMONTON & ALBERTA
Professional woodpecker-resistant EIFS coating systems for vulnerable exterior walls. Met Exteriors does not offer individual woodpecker-hole repair or patching.
Woodpecker-Resistant Coating Systems for EIFS
Met Exteriors specializes in reinforced woodpecker-resistant coating systems for EIFS exteriors where owners want broader protection against recurring woodpecker activity.
Important: we do not provide individual woodpecker-hole repair, spot patching or small localized hole repairs. This service is specifically for properties proceeding with a woodpecker-resistant coating system over a defined wall area or elevation.
How the Woodpecker Coating System Works
Our service is a reinforced coating application for suitable EIFS wall areas. It is not a woodpecker-hole repair service.
1. Evaluate the coating area
We review the EIFS elevations and determine the areas suitable for the protective coating system.
2. Prepare the wall for the coating system
The substrate must be suitable and properly prepared before the reinforced coating assembly is installed. Any separate localized repairs required before our coating scope must be completed as part of the project requirements; Met Exteriors does not accept hole-repair-only work.
3. Reinforced basecoat and mesh
Compatible reinforcing layers are installed as required by the selected assembly. Met Exteriors has experience with Durabond PointGuard-type reinforced woodpecker-protection applications.
4. Acrylic finish
A compatible acrylic finish completes the protected area and provides the finished appearance.
Coating Larger Vulnerable Areas
Woodpecker activity commonly occurs on upper EIFS walls and areas below soffits. Our coating service is intended to reinforce defined wall areas or larger elevations where recurring damage is a concern.
We do not take calls or projects for individual woodpecker-hole repairs. Customers looking only to patch one or several holes will need a contractor that offers localized EIFS repair.
No coating should be represented as making a building completely woodpecker-proof. The purpose of this system is to create a substantially more resistant EIFS surface.
Where We Use It
• Residential EIFS homes
• Multi-family EIFS buildings
• Commercial EIFS façades
• Upper elevations below soffits
• Defined wall areas with recurring woodpecker activity
• Larger EIFS elevations requiring reinforced protection
Not offered: individual hole repair, spot patching or hole-repair-only service calls.
Why Woodpeckers Target EIFS
EIFS contains foam insulation beneath a reinforced exterior layer. Once a woodpecker penetrates the surface, the softer material behind it can encourage repeated activity or cavity creation. Activity can also be influenced by territorial behaviour, insects and nesting opportunities.
Our service addresses this risk through a reinforced coating system applied over a defined EIFS area. It is not a localized hole-patching service.
Woodpecker Coating System Questions
Do you repair individual woodpecker holes?
No. Met Exteriors does not offer individual woodpecker-hole repair, spot patching or hole-repair-only service.
What service do you offer?
We install reinforced woodpecker-resistant coating systems over suitable defined EIFS wall areas and elevations.
Can the coating be used on larger elevations?
Yes. The appropriate coating area depends on the existing EIFS, building configuration and recurring woodpecker exposure.
Is the system completely woodpecker-proof?
No exterior coating should be described as completely woodpecker-proof. The system is intended to provide a substantially more resistant reinforced surface.
Do you work outside Edmonton?
Yes. Met Exteriors considers suitable woodpecker-coating projects in Edmonton and other Alberta communities.
