For most of the year, most people rarely – if ever – go up on their roof, unless there’s a serious problem. However, each year around the holidays, that changes. Each December, millions of people across the country head up to their roofs to hang lights, inflatables, and other festive decorations.

It’s no secret that roofing projects carry with them a certain element of risk. They’re expensive, they’re noisy, they’re dirty, and they have the potential – if done wrong (or not done at all) – to leave serious and lasting damage to your home. With all of this considered, how do you minimize your own risks when you need roofing work done?

There’s nothing like the soft pitter-patter of rain, especially in San Diego, where rain showers are few and far between. Unless, of course, that rain is making its way through your roof and into your home.
