Trim Your Tree Overgrowth

As a Home Inspector in North Texas tree limbs hanging on your roof is an item that we report as a common deficiency. The problem is the limbs over time deteriorate the shingles simply by rubbing on them. That’s why we suggest Spring is a good time to trim branches of shrubs and trees away from your house —get an early start before leaves grow and while you can see individual limbs. Keep branches 5 to 7 feet away from your house so they can’t conduct moisture onto your roofing and siding. You’ll also help discourage squirrels and raccoons from exploring ways to nest in your attic.
