Roof Moss Removal

What This Service Involves

Few regions grow roof moss like the Pacific Northwest, where damp, shaded slopes let it thicken into water-holding mats. Left alone, moss lifts shingle edges and forces moisture under the roofing, creating a direct path to leaks and rot. We treat and kill the moss first, then remove the loosened growth by hand and low-pressure rinse rather than scraping aggressively. A follow-up treatment discourages new colonies from taking hold through the wet months ahead.

Benefits

Removes moisture-trapping moss that damages roofing edges; Prevents leaks caused by moss lifting shingles or shakes; Includes treatment that slows future regrowth; Clears clogged debris from gutters and valleys in the process

Our Process

1) Survey moss coverage and locate the heaviest colonies; 2) Apply a moss-killing treatment and allow it to work; 3) Remove dead moss with gentle raking and low-pressure rinsing; 4) Apply a preventative solution to inhibit regrowth

What Affects the Cost

Thickness and spread of the moss colonies; Roofing material and its sensitivity; Pitch, height, and access of the roof; Square footage requiring treatment; Whether ongoing prevention service is added

Best Time of Year

Treat moss in late summer or early fall so it dies off before winter rains fuel new growth.
