Quinn Builders | General Contractors & Roofing in Burlington, MA 01803

Moss is common here due to our shade and moisture. We don't recommend power washing, as it can damage shingles. Instead, our safe removal process involves gentle manual cleaning and applying an EPA-registered zinc or copper-based treatment to inhibit future growth. We also assess if underlying moisture from clogged gutters is contributing to the problem.

It depends on the extent. Minor curling on a newer roof can often be addressed with targeted repairs. However, widespread curling in Burlington often signals the shingles are at the end of their lifespan due to sun exposure and thermal cycling. We'll provide a honest assessment and, if replacement is needed, offer durable, algae-resistant shingles suited for our local climate.

Properly functioning gutters are your roof's first line of defense. In Burlington, clogged or damaged gutters cause water to back up under the roof edge (ice dams in winter) and saturate the fascia, creating the damp environment where moss thrives and accelerating shingle deterioration. Our seamless gutter systems ensure efficient water diversion away from your home, protecting your roof's integrity.
