Woodpecker Damage Solutions — Protect Your Home with Met Exteriors
Woodpeckers can cause significant and costly damage to homes, especially to exterior siding, stucco, and EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems). These persistent birds may seem harmless, but over time, their pecking can create deep holes, compromise insulation, and even expose your home to moisture intrusion.
If you’ve been dealing with woodpecker-related issues, Met Exteriors has the perfect solution. Our Woodpecker Proof Products and Advanced Woodpecker Coating System provide a durable, long-term defense that safeguards your property’s integrity and appearance. With our expertise in modern exterior protection systems, we help homeowners maintain a beautiful, damage-free home exterior year after year.
Understanding Woodpecker Damage
Woodpeckers drill or peck on exterior surfaces for several reasons:
- To search for insects or larvae living beneath the surface
- To establish nesting sites during breeding seasons
- To mark their territory through drumming behavior
While these actions are natural, they can leave behind unsightly holes, cracks, and surface damage—particularly in materials like wood siding, stucco, or older EIFS installations. Once penetrated, these areas can allow water infiltration, leading to rot, mold, and structural deterioration.
Even small holes can attract more woodpeckers or other pests, making it crucial to address the problem early. Ignoring minor damage often results in repeated attacks, especially if woodpeckers return to the same location season after season.
Met Exteriors’ Proven Woodpecker-Resistant Solutions
At Met Exteriors, we specialize in practical, reliable, and aesthetically pleasing solutions that deter woodpeckers and protect your investment. Our approach combines durable materials and specialized coatings designed to prevent damage before it starts.
Woodpecker Proof Products
Our engineered exterior materials are built to withstand impact while maintaining a refined finish. They create a durable, impact-resistant barrier that discourages woodpeckers from pecking or nesting. These materials blend seamlessly with your home’s existing design, ensuring protection without sacrificing visual appeal.
Advanced Woodpecker Coating System
This innovative protective coating adds a tough, resilient layer to your exterior walls. It alters the surface texture and sound response, making it less attractive to woodpeckers. Beyond its protective qualities, the coating also improves the longevity of your exterior finishes—offering added UV resistance, weatherproofing, and enhanced durability.
With Met Exteriors’ dual-layer protection strategy, homeowners can confidently prevent recurring woodpecker damage.
Considering EIFS for New Construction
If you’re planning a new home build or major renovation, consider incorporating modern EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems) from the start. Unlike older stucco or wood systems, today’s EIFS products are engineered with impact resistance, flexibility, and thermal performance in mind.
Modern EIFS creates a smooth, resilient surface that is naturally resistant to woodpecker activity. The insulated layers and reinforced mesh prevent penetration, while the continuous finish provides energy savings and long-term protection.
Talk to your builder or contractor about using EIFS for a low-maintenance, energy-efficient, and woodpecker-resistant exterior. The investment pays off through fewer repairs, better insulation, and an elegant finish that lasts for decades.
