Branches over your roof? Get them off before the next storm does.
Limbs hanging over a house scrape shingles, fill gutters, give squirrels and rats a bridge into the attic, and turn into battering rams in a tropical storm. We remove overhanging branches and roof-threatening trees with rope-and-rigging control, so nothing lands on the house, including when the tree belongs to your neighbor.
Our own workLowered, never dropped
Every limb over a structure is tied off and lowered by rope. Your shingles, gutters, and screen enclosure never take a hit.
Real clearance, healthy cuts
We cut back to healthy branch unions, not stubs, leaving enough room that wind sway can't reach the roof, typically 6 to 10 feet.
Roof and gutters left clean
Leaves and twigs our work knocks loose get cleared off the roof and out of the gutters before we leave.

Common questions
My neighbor's tree hangs over my roof. Can I have it trimmed?
In Florida you can generally trim branches that cross onto your property, back to the property line, as long as you don't harm the tree's health or go onto your neighbor's land. Talking to your neighbor first usually makes it easy, and we can quote the job for either of you. This is general information, not legal advice.
How far should tree branches be from my roof?
Far enough that wind can't swing them into the roof. For most trees that means 6 to 10 feet of clearance, more for long, heavy limbs that move a lot in a storm.
Will cutting the branches over my roof hurt the tree?
Not when it's done right. We make proper cuts at branch unions and avoid removing more than about a quarter of the living canopy at once, so the tree stays healthy and balanced.
Should I just remove the whole tree?
Sometimes. If the tree leans toward the house, has decay or cracks at the base, or is an aging laurel oak, removal can be the safer call. We'll tell you honestly which one makes sense.
