Moss retains moisture against your roof surface long after it rains, which is common in our local climate. This constant dampness can seep under shingles, saturating the underlying wood sheathing (the roof deck). Over time, this leads to rot, which compromises the structural integrity of your roof. We address this by safely removing the moss, then inspecting and repairing any damaged decking before performing a roof repair or replacement.

It depends on the extent of the damage. During our inspection, we'll assess how much of the roof deck is affected. If the rot is localized, we can perform a targeted repair by removing the damaged section of decking and shingles, installing new wood, and seamlessly integrating it with your existing roof. However, if the rot is widespread, a full roof replacement is often the most reliable and cost-effective long-term solution for your home.

Excellent question. When we handle building additions or balcony construction, we integrate the new roofing with your existing system using best practices for our area. This includes ensuring proper slope for water runoff, using high-quality, moss-resistant materials where appropriate, and installing robust flashing details. For skylight installations, which are common in additions, we take extra care to seal and flash them correctly to prevent leaks that could lead to hidden rot down the line.
