As a real estate owner in Calgary, you face a unique challenge: woodpeckers. These beautiful but troublesome birds can cause significant problems for your property's exterior, especially if your building features Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems (EIFS). They create unsightly holes and damage that threaten the structural integrity of your walls. Thankfully, Weststar Wall System has introduced Shieldit, a revolutionary two-coat application specifically designed for existing EIFS. This innovative solution provides long-lasting protection against woodpecker damage, helping you safeguard your investment.
Woodpeckers are attracted to certain building materials, especially those used in EIFS. This attraction can lead to severe damage over time, resulting in costly repairs and a potential drop in property value. According to the National Pest Management Association, 30% of property owners have reported at least one instance of woodpecker damage, which can lead to thousands of dollars in repairs. These birds will frequently return once they establish their territory, making it crucial for property owners to act quickly. If left unaddressed, woodpecker damage can reduce your property’s value by up to 10%.
Weststar Wall System offers Shieldit, a remarkable product that not only protects but also extends the life of your property. Shieldit is a two-coat application tailored for existing EIFS surfaces. This system functions as a barrier, deterring woodpecker activity and preventing destructive pecking.
Shieldit creates a textured surface that is less inviting for woodpeckers, significantly lowering the risk of damage. With an easy application process, property owners can quickly fortify their buildings against these persistent pests.
