Want to keep it off the house. Should I try to trim symmetrically or just near the house & deck?
Jughead, I, also, am impressed!
How old is this tree?

Agreed, though there may be a couple that have to go all the way back due to lack of interior laterals.Beautiful tree. Definitely just trim it away from the house. Try to accomplish what you need by reducing the limbs in length as opposed to cutting them back to the trunk.

Hardest part was keeping the rabbits & deer off them while they were < 6ft tall.
Beautiful tree!
As long as the leaves are formed it's fine to prune it. You don't want to prune when the leaves are forming or falling.
I must say that tree belongs in a specimen book , and if it were mine less is truely more , just cut out the house and leave it alone ....And if you grew that tree than give yourself a little pat on the back nice work..

I agree - great looking tree!
Even better without the house.
