On most jobs, two visits a year keeps a Mission Hills roof honest: clear the valleys and gutters in advance of the rains, and check the flashings after the soonest heavy storm. We see it on Mission Hills roofs every week. As a rule, trimming back branches over a Mission Hills roof covering removes the debris that holds moisture against the covering and shortens its life. As a rule, loose ridge caps on a Mission Hills roof covering are a five-minute fix before the winds and a much larger one after.
