Our local climate, with its humid summers and shady, wooded lots, creates the perfect environment for moss to thrive. Moss isn't just unsightly; it traps moisture against shingles, accelerating wear and causing rot. We fix it by first safely removing the existing moss without damaging your shingles. Then, we install zinc or copper strips along the roof ridge. These metals release ions when it rains, creating a moss-resistant barrier that helps prevent future growth and protects your roof's lifespan.

Signs often show up inside your home: higher than usual heating/cooling bills, musty odors in the attic, or visible damp spots on ceilings. This usually points to poor attic ventilation, which allows warm, moist air to get trapped and condense in the insulation. Our solution involves a thorough inspection of your attic's airflow. We then correct the issue by installing or improving intake and exhaust vents, ensuring proper air circulation to expel moisture and keep your insulation dry and effective, which saves you money on energy costs.

Proactive maintenance is key. We recommend homeowners schedule a professional inspection at least once a year, ideally in the fall. Keep gutters clean to prevent water backup, and trim back tree branches that overhang the roof to reduce shade and debris. If you see any moss starting, address it quickly before it spreads. Also, check your attic periodically for signs of proper ventilation, like consistent temperature and no condensation. We offer maintenance plans to handle these tasks for you, giving you peace of mind.
