Clearing the Calabasas gutters in late autumn prevents nearly all of the harm the soonest storm would otherwise cause. Moss on a shaded Calabasas slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it. Trimming back branches over a Calabasas roof removes the debris that holds moisture against the covering and shortens its working life. Flashings at the chimney on an older Calabasas house in most cases need attention well before the covering does.
