Moss is common here due to our shade and moisture. We recommend a professional, gentle removal to avoid damaging shingles, followed by applying zinc or copper strips along the ridge. These strips release ions when it rains, preventing future moss growth for years. Avoid pressure washing, as it can strip protective granules from your shingles.

Prevention starts with proper attic insulation and ventilation to keep your roof deck cold and even. We also highly recommend installing an ice and water shield—a waterproof underlayment—along the eaves and valleys during a roof replacement or repair. This critical barrier seals around nails and protects against water backup from ice dams, a common issue in our area.

First, we'll conduct a thorough inspection to assess the extent of the water damage to shingles, underlayment, and decking. Repairs often involve replacing damaged sections, ensuring proper sealing at flashing points, and reinforcing vulnerable areas with ice and water shield. Our goal is to fix the immediate leak and fortify your roof against future dam formation.
