Regular roof inspection is an important part of home maintenance when you like to be surrounded by trees. Highly shaded areas on your roof, with an accumulation of leaves and organic materials can break down your shingles, leading to roof leaks.

Branches can be an issue if they are leaning towards the house, especially in the winter with all that snow. Regular inspection is a chore for the homeowner.

The roof should be inspected at least twice per year to ensure that leaves and other debris are not clogging the valleys. If water can't be directed down the valley, it ends up flowing across your roof, under the tiles and into the house. Also, gutters should be cleaned of leaves and debris to prevent water from coming into the house.
