If a storm causes a tree to fall on your roof, should you remove it yourself, or call in a pro? If you're not good on ladders and heights make you dizzy or your roof pitch is steeply pitched, opt for a pro. If you tackle it yourself first, inspect the underside from the attic. If it's damaged, call your insurance agent (and a pro). If everything looks all right and once the roof has dried, venture topside wearing non-skid shoes. Work above the fallen limb. If it shifts or rolls you'll be out of harm's way. Trim small branches with pruning shears and cut the main limb into sections with a bow saw. Once it's removed, if you find damaged shingles, make a temporary patch out of galvanized metal flashing, slip it under the shingle course above and secure it with roofing cement rather than nails. They'll only put more holes in your already injured roof. And that's the On The House tip for today.
