Roof moss removal and cleaning
In our wet valley, moss is the quiet roof killer. It holds moisture against the shingles, lifts them, and shortens the life of the roof. Done right, gentle moss removal and treatment protects the shingles and adds years.
Moss Removal and Roof Cleaning done right in Salem
Nothing shortens a valley roof faster than moss. On our damp, shaded north slopes it takes hold in the seams, holds water against the shingles, and lifts their edges, which speeds granule loss and leaks.
We remove moss gently and treat the roof with a roof safe solution that kills what is there and clears the dark algae streaks, without the granule stripping damage of pressure washing.
To slow regrowth we can add zinc or copper strips at the ridge and set up periodic maintenance, because in this climate moss is an ongoing thing, not a one time fix.

Moss Removal and Roof Cleaning in Salem: common questions
Does moss really damage a roof?
Yes. Moss holds water against the shingles, works under the edges, and lifts them, which speeds granule loss and leaks. On our damp north facing slopes it can take years off a roof.
Do you pressure wash the roof?
No. Pressure washing tears the granules off shingles and does real damage. We use gentle removal and roof safe treatment that kills the moss without harming the roof.
How long does the treatment last?
A treatment plus zinc or copper strips at the ridge slows regrowth for a good while, though our climate means moss is an ongoing thing. We can set up periodic maintenance.
Can you clean the dark streaks too?
Yes. The dark streaks are algae, and our treatment clears them along with the moss, brightening the whole roof without damaging the shingles.
