The reliable way to hire a pro

how high i can have fence build

We've got birds nesting in our soffits, and it sounds like they might be getting into other parts of the roof. We heard a story from a neighbour who had a similar problem, and it turns out the birds removed a bunch of the roofing felt, leaving them with a leaky roof and a big repair bill. I’m not sure how true all of that is, but here's what we're facing: our soffits have missing plugs, and we’re definitely not keen on just blocking them out and letting them die inside. I've got a few questions: - How risky is it really to have birds in the soffits? I know they obviously have to go, but could they actually cause some serious, expensive damage? Has anyone seen major roof issues caused by birds before? - If there's a risk of damage, how should we figure out the extent of it and who should we call for help? Are we looking at a costly job where large sections of roof or soffits need to come off, or is it more straightforward than that? I'm thinking maybe using cameras on poles, getting into the attic, etc. Should we call in a roofer, pest control, or even an ecologist? - Lastly, does anyone have tips on inexpensive and easy methods to get them out? I've read about ultrasound devices and using distress calls. I’m aware of the legal aspects concerning bird disturbance, plus I really don't want to harm them. Any advice or guidance would be really appreciated!

Got a leaky window with sidings. Should I look for contractor specializing in windows or specializing in sidings to determine course of action to fix leak? Are there any that can deal with both directly?
