The most cost efficient way to deal with roof moss is have treatment applied when there is 1/2 inch of moss. It is cheaper to prevent moss than pay extra to remove moss that has accumulated.
Help maintain the value and beauty of your home!
Our moss removal procedure includes:
(This process is widely accepted and effective in the NW area, often requested by realtors and inspectors.)
- Gently brushing moss off (or no more than a half inch) with a wire brush. No pressure washing for moss removal on asphalt/composite roofs. This damages shingles and will greatly lessen the lifetime of your roof.
- Using a high power blower to blow everything off of the roof.
- Cleaning the interior of gutters (because moss will accumulate in them).
- Apply an eco-friendly moss removal powder to the roof that will move down the roof with future rain, killing and eroding off remaining moss. This process takes 8-13 weeks from application, although you will see the moss become dark green and black within 10-14 days of the first rain.
- We make sure our cleanup work leaves your yard looking better than when we came.

Important Reasons for Roof Moss Treatment
Moss treatment will greatly expand the lifetime of your shingles and sometimes DOUBLE the lifetime.
This is explained here: http://www.angieslist.com/articles/can-roof-cleaning-extend-life-my-shingles.htm
Prevent water roof leaks and damage to shingles
You want to prevent causes for water damage to your: roof, attic, insulation and ceiling and wall sheet rock and paint. Moss acts as a sponge and holds water on the roof, which ends up going sideways under the shingles and gets under the shingles to wet the tar paper and roof, as well as lift the shingles to where wind can get under them and blow them off the roof. This can cause damage to the roof sheathing. During the freeze and thaw cycles of fall and winter, the expansion process of water to ice removes granules from the shingles. Without the granules, the tar shingles dry out more quickly and lose their water repellency. Moss has rhizomes that reach around granules. As they soak up water and dry out, their rhizomes work to loosen the granules and pry them from the shingle.
Qualify for Home Insurance
Your home insurance policy may not be renewed (they may send you a home inspector and then later a letter in the mail and/or call you) around renewal time if the moss is not killed and or removed. This is an especially valuable time for you to have this moss treatment service available.
It Keeps Your Roof Drier
You have a flatter roof and the moss growth is holding moisture on the roof that is rotting the plywood.
Help keep Shingles from Wind Damage
NorthWest storms are windy enough that the shingles held up at the edges by the moss may get blown back and torn off the roof.
Lower Home Maintenance Cost
You are the one that is responsible for replacing and repairing the roof and you want to keep your home maintenance expenses low.
