Moss loves the shade and moisture common in our area. The most effective prevention is installing zinc or copper strips along the ridge of your roof. As rainwater runs over these metal strips, it deposits trace minerals that create an environment moss can't grow in. We also recommend keeping nearby trees trimmed to increase sunlight and airflow on your roof surface.

Nail pops are very common in Detroit due to our freeze-thaw cycles and temperature changes, which cause the roof decking to expand and contract. When this happens, the nails securing the shingles can push upward. While a few might be minor, multiple pops can compromise your roof's seal against wind and water. It's a sign the fasteners are failing, and we recommend a professional inspection to assess if spot repairs or a section replacement is needed.

Most of the time, these are repairable issues. For moss, we carefully remove it without damaging shingles, treat the area to prevent regrowth, and replace any compromised shingles. For nail pops, we secure the raised shingles with new, corrosion-resistant fasteners and seal them properly. A full replacement is only necessary if the underlying decking is rotted or the damage is widespread. We'll always give you a clear, honest assessment of what's actually required.
