How to save a home with roof damage from a hurricane.
The Gulf States storms damage structures with frightening regularity. Many rural properties have Pecan trees. Did you know Pecan trees are self-pruning? It means the limbs fall off without warning.

Government-funded studies online describe how damage to a roof shortens the life of the entire structure.
