Loose ridge tiles are often caused by our coastal winds. The best approach is a professional re-bedding and re-pointing using a high-quality, flexible mortar designed for our climate. For a temporary DIY fix, a specialized roofing adhesive can be used, but a permanent repair should address the underlying mortar failure to prevent water intrusion and further damage.

Moss thrives in Castroville's damp, foggy conditions. We recommend a gentle, zinc-based moss treatment solution, applied with a low-pressure sprayer, which kills the moss without damaging your tiles or shingles. Avoid pressure washing, as it can strip protective granules and force water under the roofing material. Regular gutter cleaning and trimming overhanging branches to increase sun exposure are key to prevention.

For durability in our environment, we recommend concrete or clay tiles for their resistance to salt air and wind, or high-quality architectural asphalt shingles rated for high winds. Proper underlayment is crucial for moisture protection. We can help you select materials with the right warranties and features, like algae resistance, to ensure a long-lasting roof suited for our local climate.
