Overhanging limbs abrade shingles every time the wind moves them, drop debris into valleys and gutter runs, and keep the slope beneath them damp long after rain. Trimming back is far cheaper than the roof work it prevents, and it is the tree service’s job rather than the roofer’s.

You can handle this one yourself. No call needed.
