“We had a smallish stucco repair job (10x10) on the side of our home and parging replacement on the other side. Of all the stucco companies I reached out to, Calgary Parging was the only one that was responsive and reasonably priced. One place had quoted us over $7k just for the stucco repair. Calgary Parging was less than half. They were even able to quote and add the fixing of woodpecker holes to the job all in one day. Paint match was spot on.”
“Really happy we went with Calgary Parging. Job detail: woodpecker repairs and woodpecker proofing of a decorative window. Quotation with Mary was excellent, she provided clarification in a timely manner. Rini was very professional. On the job site, Omi and his team were efficient and cleanup was great. They skillfully kept detail and took the time to apply coatings and not rush. I would not hesitate to hire you again.”
“Calgary Parging did an outstanding job applying a protective coat on our existing stucco to protect it from woodpecker damage. They matched our current stucco perfectly. The team working on the house did a great job managing the work site and completing the job in a timely manner. I would highly recommend Calgary Parging for any stucco/parging related work.”
“Had a hole from a Northern Flicker in my house and needed a patch done. They were the only company that responded saying they did residential work, the others only did commercial. The patch job looks great and the colour matches perfectly. If I didn’t know where the hole was I would not be able to spot it. Highly recommend!”
“Very impressed with Calgary Parging. Hired them to repair some woodpecker damage to the EIFS stucco siding on my home. The process for the repair and woodpecker proofing of the area that had been damaged were very well explained. Everyone from estimation to the work crew were very professional, knowledgeable and skilled. The crew went above and beyond to keep the work area tidy and clean.”
“Wow! We hired Calgary Parging to apply a three coat product over our existing acrylic stucco as we were under attack from woodpeckers and other beaked critters. The project also required adjusting window trim, adding window flashing, and cutting an expansion joint. Our house is about 4500 sf plus the three car garage, a big project. The crew were so professional and hardworking. Omi led them and they all knew what they were doing. And no woodpeckers!”
“They were timely, cost effective and did an amazing job in repairing a lot of woodpecker and flicker damage to the exterior of my home and garage. Grateful to them for the quality of work done, amazing team they had here and the affordability.”
“Calgary Parging repaired woodpecker damage on our stucco. Professional, friendly and did excellent work! Would definitely recommend!”
“Fixed woodpecker damage to my stucco, did a great job. Clean finish, colour matched well, very pleased with results.”
“Recently had Calgary Parging perform some small stucco repairs due to damage from Calgary’s beloved flickers, as well as some parging repair. All work was performed exceptionally well, and would definitely recommend their services!”
“Quick to respond for an assessment of woodpecker damage on stucco. Very professional. Job was well done. Would highly recommend.”
“I work with Calgary Parging on a regular basis. Amazing company and amazing people!”
The problem
Why woodpeckers crack holes in stucco, and why it gets worse fast.
Woodpeckers are drawn to EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish System) stucco for two reasons: the foam insulation behind the finish is much softer than concrete, and tapping on it produces the hollow resonance birds associate with insect-filled tree cavities. Once they’ve started, a single woodpecker can put dozens of holes in a wall in a season, and every hole is a moisture entry point.
How we fix it
We don’t just plug the holes. We patch with the right EIFS-compatible mesh, base coat, and finish, then overcoat the affected elevation with Adex Graphexcoat, a graphene-reinforced 3-coat system specifically engineered to resist beak impact. Once it’s on, the wall sounds different to the bird, and they move on.
How to prevent further damage
- Adex Graphexcoat overlay 3-coat graphene-reinforced finish on the affected elevation
- Motion-activated sprinklers Triggered near nesting hot spots to disrupt patterns
- Reflective deterrents Mirrored strips along the eaves to break sight lines
- Annual spring inspection Booked in with every warranty client we treat
