Roof & Wire Clearance in Los Angeles

Limbs pulled back off the roof, the service line and the drive — Los Angeles, Los Angeles County.

Clearance is limbs cut back off the things they should not be touching: the roof, the gutters, the driveway, the neighbour's fence, and the service line into the house. In Los Angeles it is usually the roof and the wire.

Branches lying on a roof hold moisture against the shingles and give rats a bridge into the attic. Dead wood and dry fronds over the house are what the fire inspector and the insurance adjuster both look at first.

Roof, Wire & Driveway Clearance in Los Angeles

Insurance and fire inspections in Los Angeles both come back to the same question: what is hanging over the roof, and is any of it dead?

Street and yard palms everywhere, most of them decades old and tall enough that fronds and seed pods come down on cars, roofs and people below
Overhead service lines run through the canopy on a lot of residential streets, so clearance work is as much about what is around the limb as the limb itself
Dense blocks with narrow driveways and street parking, which decides where the truck and the chipper can actually sit
Santa Ana winds test every tree that has not been thinned, and the ones that fail are usually the ones carrying too much weight on the ends

Questions about roof, wire & driveway clearance in Los Angeles

There is a power line running through my tree. Can you work around it?

Up to a point, and we will tell you where that point is rather than take a chance over your house. Some work has to wait for the utility to drop or cover the line first. We would rather lose the job than guess at that.

My insurance company asked for clearance from the roof.

That is a common call here. Tell us what they asked for — usually a set distance off the roof and dead wood removed — and we will cut to it and clean up after.
