How Secure Is Your Roof Against Falling Trees and Branches?

While we enjoy the beauty that surrounding nature adds to our homes, it’s easy to forget that the trees we love can sometimes pose a risk. Trees offer shade and boost curb appeal, but if a branch or an entire tree comes plummeting down, it can do serious damage to your roof. If you live beneath the canopy of a tree, the first step is to assess the situation: take a good look at your roof and make sure you have the right tree for your space. If that tree poses a potential risk, it’s time to mitigate it. If not, carry on—but always be sensible.

At Tesson Roofing, we believe that a prudent homeowner takes a tree’s potential for harm as seriously as its beauty.

The Damage Falling Trees and Branches Can Cause

Falling branches and trees can poke through your shingles, causing leaks that can lead to significant damage. Even small branch falls can endanger your roof, creating vulnerabilities that allow mold to form and weaken your roof’s structural integrity. A large tree fall can result in the need for extensive repairs, or even a full roof replacement.

The Importance of Regular Roof Inspections

To protect your home, having a professional roofing contractor inspect your roof is crucial. This inspection can identify potential risks and weak points before they escalate into major problems. Think of it like a doctor’s check-up for your home—unless the inspector is trained, the inspection will not be effective. At Tesson Roofing, our inspectors are highly trained and part of a trusted team, just as we’ve used in the past for both our closely held corporation and personal properties.
