The Nightshift Nobody Asked For
Ever wonder why your roof sounds like it’s hosting an impromptu dance party at 2 AM? Welcome to the world of unauthorized nocturnal roof inspections by Buffalo’s most notorious masked bandits – raccoons. While these furry contractors might think they’re helping, their idea of roof maintenance usually involves creating new skylights you never asked for.
Signs You’ve Got Uninvited Roofing “Experts”
Here in Western New York, from Lancaster to Clarence, we’ve seen our fair share of creative wildlife renovations. These DIY enthusiasts typically leave calling cards that would make any professional roofer cringe:
• Mysterious shingle piles in your yard (No, they didn’t fall off because they were “too heavy”)
• Gutters that look like someone’s been using them as a slip-n-slide
• Attic insulation that’s been “redecorated” into a cozy winter nest
The Buffalo-Area Roofing Chronicles
In Cheektowaga, we once had a customer call about strange noises above their ceiling. They were convinced they had hired sleepwalking roofers. Turns out, a family of raccoons had started their own roofing company – unfortunately, their work wasn’t up to code, and their liability insurance was nonexistent.
Why Professional Roofers Beat Woodland Contractors
Unlike our furry friends in Amherst and East Amherst who believe ventilation holes should be randomly placed for “artistic effect,” professional roofers actually follow building codes. We also don’t raid your garbage cans after completing a job – that’s our corporate promise!
The Real Deal
While it’s amusing to joke about wildlife roofing services, maintaining your roof is serious business in our unpredictable Western New York weather. From Buffalo’s legendary snowstorms to Lancaster’s wind gusts, your roof needs professional attention from actual humans who understand proper installation techniques and don’t work for acorns.
Remember, if you hear suspicious thumping above your head at night, it’s probably not Santa doing early roof maintenance. It’s time to call real professionals who:
• Carry proper insurance (not just a thick fur coat)
• Use actual roofing tools (not tiny paws)
• Provide written warranties (not paw prints)
• Complete work during daylight hours (unless you specifically request otherwise)
Don’t let your roof become a wildlife workshop. When you need real roofing expertise in Buffalo, Lancaster, Cheektowaga, Amherst, Clarence, or East Amherst, call the professionals who walk on two legs, not four!
