Replacing the small Vent Screens around Foundation of house?
#3
If they're anything like mine, they were nailed into place before the stucco was applied, so they can't be removed without busting them out of the stucco. It's one of those jobs you can do yourself, but it's such a pain that it makes sense to call a stucco pro. It'd be a quick job for him.

A locally owned store would be more likely to have replacements that match. You could replace them with a different size, but they won't match the existing screens. That's up to you, and probably depends on how visible they are.

Home Depot doesn't carry stuff particular to regions. Around here, the big problem is all the kitchens were built with wall mounted faucets. Home Depot has perhaps two models of wall mounted faucets, and they're ugly. The local plumbing supply store stocks and sells quite a few, but they're struggling to compete with the big box stores. And frankly, they're not very nice to the DIY folks.

Fix it soon, though. Repairing damage from varmints could cost a lot more than paying a stucco guy. Possums, for example, will chew on wires and start fires.
