-
Trim trees and remove debris: Overhanging branches can scratch and damage your roof during high winds. Trim trees and branches that are too close to your roof.Debris such as leaves, branches, and other debris can accumulate on your roof and cause damage over time. Make sure to remove debris from your roof regularly.

Prompt repairs can prevent further damage and help keep insurance costs down.
