Roof moss removal around Portland Oregon

Roof moss removal should be done before damage is done to shingles.

There are several reasons people choose roof moss removal service.

  • Their wife tells them to :)
  • Their insurance company tells them to remove it or they won't renew the home owner policy
  • They're moving and want the house to look good
  • A home inspector tells them it must be removed before the house can be sold
  • In-laws and company comments on it and embarasses the home owner
  • It rolls off the roof and keeps plugging the downspouts.
  • The roof is leaking
  • They get tired of thinking about it
  • Nobody can see the roof (that's bad :)
    There are other reasons why moss should be removed:
  • Moss continues to hold moisture against the roof and slows the roof from drying out after the rains.
  • Moss holds dirt on the roof that other plants feed on.
  • Moist roofs tend to grow mildewy which leaves dark stains on the roof.
  • Dead moss will decay and provide fertile ground for new moss to grow.
  • Moist roofs that go through the freeze and thaw of winter will lose more granules than drier roofs.

    After moss has been killed, there are two ways of removing it. It can either be scraped or handbrushed. Scraping off the moss removes the large chunks and is more economical. Handbrushing leaves the roof clear of visible moss and is the typical choice when asthetics are important.
