H T Roofing & Hoisting | Roofing Services in Harbor Springs, MI 49740

Moss holds moisture against your roof surface, which can lead to premature shingle deterioration and, more seriously, seep into the decking causing rot. For safe and effective removal, we use specialized techniques that clean the moss without damaging the shingles. We then often apply a zinc or copper-based treatment strip at the ridge to inhibit future moss growth, a common preventative step for homes in our area.

If you notice soft spots, sagging, or interior leaks, deck rot is a possibility. We recommend a professional inspection immediately. We will carefully assess the deck's condition from both the exterior and, if safe and necessary, the interior attic space. If rot is found, we can sectionally replace the damaged decking and underlayment before re-roofing, ensuring your home's structure remains sound and protected.

Choosing the right materials is key for longevity here. We recommend asphalt shingles with algae-resistant coatings, or metal roofing, which sheds water quickly and doesn't support moss growth. Proper installation with adequate ventilation and drip edges is also crucial to keep moisture away from the deck. We use these proven materials and techniques to build roofs that stand up to our local conditions.
