Moss Services

Moss can not only damage shingles, the moist conditions it creates can allow moulds to develop and grow throughout your roofing system. Treating the moss on your roof can extend the usable life of your roofing system.

We offer the following services

Spray Treatment – Can apply in dry conditions (April-June and Oct-Nov)

Our moss treatment is a revolutionary, no rinse treatment that will kill moss. The moss will turn from green to yellow (brown or black). It can take up to 6-8 weeks to see the full results. On most areas of roof, dead moss will remain and time will eventually dissipate dead moss. This is a guaranteed moss kill service if after eight weeks there is still live green moss on roof please call us back for a free re-treat. Long term effects will vary depending on the environmental conditions and tree coverage. Repeat treatment is recommended, if needed, once every one to four years.

Powder Treatment – Can apply in wet conditions (Oct-May)

This is a guaranteed moss kill service if after eight weeks there is still live green moss on roof please call us back for a free re-treat. Long term effects will vary depending on the environmental conditions and tree coverage. Repeat treatment is recommended, if needed, once every one to four years.

Removal – All year around

Sometimes the customer wants more immediate results and it is necessary to remove the dead moss left on the roof from treatment. This should only be done by caring professionals who will take every precaution to preserve your roof. After the moss is dead we can come back and lightly sweep or blow dead moss off your roof. We will remove 60%-70% of moss from the roof. We will vacuum all affected gutters out and clean all grounds of any debris from the roof. The customer needs to be aware that any kind of physical removal of moss from roof is not ideal and even the most careful efforts will remove roof granules from your shingles. This has the possible effect of reducing the life of your roof.

Maintenance Program

The saying goes “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” and by keeping your roof free of moss you can greatly extend its lifespan. Lessen your load and let us keep track of when treatments are needed.
