Why moss is a problem for your roof

Moss holds water against your shingles like a sponge. Over time it lifts the edges, lets water work its way underneath, and clogs your gutters with debris. Left alone, it can take years off the life of a roof.

A lot of companies blast moss off with a pressure washer. It looks fast, but high pressure strips the protective granules off asphalt shingles and can force water under them. We take the slower, gentler route that protects your roof.

How we do it

  1. Soft-brush moss removal

    We loosen the moss by hand with soft brushes, working with the shingles, never against them.

  2. Light blow-off

    Loosened moss and debris are blown off the roof with low air pressure, so nothing is forced under the shingles.

  3. Full cleanup

    We clear the moss out of your gutters and clean up the siding and ground around the house. You won't find clumps in your flower beds.

  4. Moss-prevention treatment

    We finish by treating the whole roof to stop moss from growing back.

“With safety lines on our steep roof, they wire-brushed moss off of each shingle, blew the moss off, cleaned out and hosed out the gutters, and finally went around the yard and cleaned up all the moss. … These men worked very hard all day long and finished all three tasks within one day. They are all cheerful and pleasant, professional and very competent.”

“Adam’s Exterior Maintenance did an outstanding job on our nasty, mossy roofs. These were steep pitch, moss caked, and fir needle packed roofs on our house and shop. They look so much better! I wish we had done it sooner but at least now I know who to call.”

Questions

Do you pressure wash roofs?

No. High pressure damages asphalt shingles by stripping their granules and pushing water underneath. We remove moss by hand with soft brushes and blow it off lightly.

What does the moss treatment do?

After cleaning, we apply a treatment to the whole roof that keeps moss from growing back. It is a big part of why we can back the job with a 3-year warranty.

How often should a roof be cleaned?

In the Salem area, most roofs with nearby trees need attention every few years. Our treatment and 3-year warranty keep you covered between cleanings.

Do I need to be home?

No. We just need access to the property and a way to reach you.
