Why You Should Never Walk on the Roof to Install Decorations
Walking on your roof to install Christmas or New Year decorations may seem harmless, but it’s one of the quickest ways to cause serious damage—and put your safety at risk. Roofs are not designed to support regular foot traffic, especially during colder months when shingles become brittle and slippery. Stepping in the wrong spot can crack shingles, weaken flashing, or even cause hidden structural issues that lead to expensive roof repair later on.
