These offerings grew out of a need to find a practical solution to repair/replace damaged foundation and attic vent screens.

Foundation

Foundation Vent Screens presented a problem in that the original screen would rust and disintegrate, allowing pests like rats, raccoons, and other animals, access to the foundation area. Although not aesthetically pleasing, the common solution has been to install new hardware cloth either on the outside or the inside of the vent unit. Hardware cloth does not solve the rust and disintegration issue. Installing screen on the outside does not allow easy access for closing of the vent covers, and restricted access in many instances can make inside installation difficult.

Our practical solution is to replace the rusted screen with stainless steel screen while maintaining the original appearance. In most instances, installation can be performed from the outside provided that access to the vent is unobstructed; otherwise the screen will have to be replaced from the crawl space side of the foundation.

Attic

Attic Vent Screens are a problem when birds gain access by persistent pecking on weak vent fibers. Once they have removed the barrier, they nest and cause a mess in the attic, dislocating insulation, creating noise, possibly causing an unpleasant odor, and attracting pests like rats, squirrels and insects.

Our simple solution is to install corrosion resistant stainless steel screen from the outside. While maintaining the original appearance, it is strong and will stand up to the elements.
