Removal of Two Hazard Limbs Over the Roof of Edina Home

We headed out to a home in Edina this week for a job that might sound straightforward on the surface but deserves just as much care and attention as any larger removal — taking down two sizeable limbs that had been hanging over the roofline. At six to eight inches in diameter these were not small branches by any stretch, and limbs of that size hanging directly over a roof are something that should absolutely be addressed sooner rather than later. A branch doesn't have to fall from a massive height to cause serious damage to a roof, and homeowners who stay on top of situations like this before a storm makes the decision for them are doing exactly the right thing. We showed up, assessed the situation, and put together a plan that would get both limbs down safely without so much as a scratch on the roof below.

The removal went really smoothly from start to finish. Both limbs were carefully rigged and brought down in a controlled way that kept the roof and everything around it completely protected throughout the whole process. It's the kind of detail oriented work that we genuinely enjoy — where precision and patience matter more than speed, and getting it right is the only acceptable outcome. By the time both limbs were down and everything was cleaned up, that roofline was clear and the homeowners could rest easy knowing their home was no longer sitting under a couple of ticking time bombs.

Overhanging limbs over a roof are one of those things that are really easy to put off — until they're not. If you've got branches hanging over your home that have been on your radar, don't wait for a storm to force your hand. Give Rooted Treeworks a call and let's get out there and take care of it before it becomes a much bigger and more expensive problem!
