FAQ
How does a "No Bird Zone" guard work?
No Bird Zone guard is a metal part inserted onto the beams of the roof where birds typically nest. This part makes it so they can't even land on the beam. It doesn't stop the birds from flying overtop the boat but does eliminate their perch.
The more nearby slips that have the No Bird Zone guard installed, especially the slips on either side of yours, the fewer birds that will even come near your slip. They tend to flock to areas where they have nests and opportunities to perch.
Be sure to ask about our referral program, it will save you money & help reduce the number of birds that even fly around your slip.

How much does a No Bird Zone guard system cost?
A typical runabout slip will usually run around $500 depending upon factors such as size, number of beams and overall height.

We are very familiar with most of the marinas within our working area so please do not hesitate to contact us for more accurate pricing. We will also offer discounts if we are scheduled to do multiple slips when we travel to your location so speak with your friends and dock neighbors and let us know how many slips you would like to have NBZ guards installed.

Can I purchase the No Bird Zone guards and install them myself?
Unfortunately not, due to a number of reasons.
- We need to make sure the guards are properly installed to our standards in order to provide our 100% satisfaction guarantee.
- The installation process and special tools were even more difficult to design and perfect than the No Bird Zone guard itself so without them the installation would be difficult at best.
- Last but not least, when not using our proprietary tools & fixtures, the height and access over water presents even more serious and potentially life threatening challenges should you try to climb to install yourself. Let's face it, our services are CHEAP compared to the cost of injury or even death...

Does my boat need to be moved and / or do you need to get on it?
Depending upon the size and height of your slip, your boat doesn't typically need to be moved during the No Bird Zone guard installation process. We will discuss this with you as we learn more about your slip specifications.
What if there is an existing birds nest above our boat?
We are not allowed by law to disturb active nests. When we arrive to install your No Bird Zone guard and if we discover an active nest, we will only install the guards in areas where there are no active nests. We will however remove and install over any inactive nests that we find.
If I change slips, can I move the guards to my new slip?
We can move the guards for a fee but there is no guarantee they will fit your new slip. In addition, the labor fee to move the No Bird Zone guard system will be nearly that of a new system. The material costs are only a small part of the cost to install a No Bird Zone guard system.

We accept & prefer cash but will accept a check if discussed and pre-approved in advance of scheduling your job.
