Keir Construction | General Contractors & Roofing in Avon, CT 06001

Prevention starts with proper roof maintenance. We recommend keeping your roof clear of debris, ensuring gutters are clean and functioning to prevent moisture buildup, and trimming overhanging tree branches to increase sunlight and airflow. For a more permanent solution, Keir Construction can install zinc or copper strips along your roof ridge. When it rains, these metals release ions that inhibit algae and moss growth, a highly effective method for our local climate.

In most cases, roof algae stains are a cosmetic issue that a professional, soft-wash cleaning can resolve without damaging your shingles. However, if moss growth has lifted shingles or caused underlying water damage, repairs or a partial replacement may be necessary. Our team will perform a thorough inspection of your Avon home's roof to assess its condition and recommend the most cost-effective solution to restore its protection and appearance.

Clogged or damaged gutters are a primary cause of roof moss. When gutters overflow, water backs up under the roof edge and shingles, creating the damp, shaded environment moss thrives in. Our gutter cleaning, repair, and installation services ensure water is channeled away from your roof effectively. By solving the gutter issue, we eliminate a key source of moisture, helping to prevent moss from taking hold and protecting your roof's structure.
