Trimming back branches over a Shadow Hills roof covering removes the debris that holds moisture against the covering and shortens its service life. Put simply, walking a Shadow Hills tile roof damages it; inspection should be from the edge, a ladder or a drone. It is the same story on most Shadow Hills streets.
