How trees damage roofs in North Texas
Mature trees are one of the best things about older DFW neighborhoods — and one of the biggest threats to a roof. Branches that hang over or touch your roof rub away the protective granules on your shingles with every gust. In a spring thunderstorm or a winter ice event, a weakened limb can snap and puncture the roof deck. Leaves, needles and twigs pile up in valleys and behind chimneys, holding moisture against shingles and creating paths for water to back up.
Overhanging branches also give squirrels and raccoons a highway onto your roof, where they can chew vents and soffits.
What we do
- Trimming limbs that overhang or touch the roof
- Removing fallen limbs and storm debris from the roof surface
- Blowing or hand-clearing leaves from valleys, behind chimneys and around vents
- Hauling away debris
- Checking for scuffed shingles, punctures or damage left behind
After a storm
If a limb has fallen on your roof, don't climb up to move it yourself. Call us. We'll safely remove it, tarp any openings and document the damage with photos. 24/7 emergency service is available for a fee, and included for Roof Protection Members. For larger tree removal beyond the roofline, we'll be upfront about what's in scope.
