Common Questions
How do you prevent moss from growing back on my Albany roof?
We tackle Albany's moss problem with a two-step approach. First, we safely remove existing moss. Then, we apply a zinc or copper-based treatment strip along the roof ridge. When it rains, this metal slowly washes down the roof, creating an environment that inhibits moss and algae growth for years, which is crucial in our humid climate.
What's the best way to deal with ice dams on my home?
The best strategy is prevention. For existing dams, we carefully remove snow and create channels to relieve pressure, avoiding damage to shingles. To prevent future ice dams—common in our Albany winters—we focus on improving attic insulation and ventilation to keep the roof cold and consistent, stopping snow melt at the source.
Can a mossy roof lead to more serious damage for my home?
Absolutely. In Albany, moss holds moisture against your roof decking and shingles 24/7. This constant dampness accelerates wood rot, compromises the roof's structural integrity, and can lead to leaks and interior water damage. Addressing moss promptly is a key part of preventative maintenance for any Capital Region homeowner.
