Wind resilience: Do-It-Yourself (DIY) tips
Simple and cost-effective ways to help make your home more wind resilient during storms
Trim overhanging trees
Strong winds, heavy snow, and storms can cause tree branches to break and damage your home's roof, siding, or windows. Regularly trimming trees around your house helps prevent storm-related damage while keeping your gutters free from excessive leaves. If you're unsure about which branches to cut, consult an arborist to avoid harming the tree's health.
