Bird Defense

Certified Symterra Bird Defense Installer: Expertise That Makes the Difference

At Preferred Painting, Inc., we're proud to be a certified installer of the Symterra Bird Defense system (including Symterra Pulse™ and related electromagnetic bird deterrent technologies). This innovative, humane solution uses advanced electromagnetic technology to create an invisible "force field" that safely and permanently deters birds from landing, perching, or nesting—without spikes, nets, traps, or harm to wildlife. It's an eco-friendly, low-maintenance option ideal for commercial buildings, industrial facilities, warehouses, hospitals, sports venues, transmission towers, retail spaces, and more.

What sets Preferred Painting apart as a preferred certified installer is our unique combination of deep substrate knowledge and proven high-access expertise—ensuring flawless, long-lasting installations that maximize the system's effectiveness.

Why Our Expertise Matters:

• In-Depth Substrate Mastery — With over 34 years in surface preparation, coatings, and restoration—plus the recent acquisition of Stonetec's 25+ years in polished concrete, terrazzo, marble, stone, and specialty finishes—we understand how different materials (concrete, stucco, brick, metal panels, EIFS, facades, roofs, and structural elements) interact with bird deterrents. We prepare surfaces properly for secure mounting of Symterra components, prevent interference with electromagnetic signals, and integrate the system seamlessly without compromising structural integrity or aesthetics.
• Advanced Access Capabilities — High-rise, elevated, or hard-to-reach structures demand precision and safety. Our certified teams are experienced with swing stage rigging, suspended scaffolding, bosun's chairs, and other elevated access methods—making challenging installations look effortless. We ensure optimal placement of Symterra transmitters and coverage zones, even on tall facades, rooftops, towers, or irregular geometries, while adhering to OSHA standards and minimizing disruption to operations.
• Proven Results & Comprehensive Approach — As a certified installer, we follow Symterra's exact protocols for maximum efficacy. Combined with our full-service capabilities (surface prep, repairs, coatings, and maintenance contracts), we deliver turnkey solutions—from site assessment and installation to ongoing monitoring and integration with other protective treatments. This holistic expertise reduces bird-related issues like droppings, corrosion, health hazards, and costly cleanups, while supporting ESG goals through humane, sustainable methods.
