If your roof has been damaged by animals, the first step is to identify the type of animal that is causing the damage and determine the extent of the damage. This may require a professional inspection to assess the roof and identify the problem. Once the source of the damage has been identified, you can take the following steps to address it:

Repair any damage caused by the animals. This may include patching holes, replacing damaged shingles, or making other necessary repairs.

Determine how the animals are accessing the roof and take steps to prevent them from doing so in the future. This may involve sealing off entry points, such as holes in the roof or gaps around pipes and vents, or installing barriers or repellents to keep the animals away.

Monitor the roof closely to ensure that the animals do not return and cause further damage. This may include regular inspections and maintenance to catch potential issues before they become major problems.

In general, it is important to address animal damage to a roof as soon as possible to prevent further damage and ensure the longevity of the roof. Working with a professional contractor or pest control expert is the best way to ensure that the problem is addressed effectively and that the animals are kept away from the roof.
