Our coastal climate's humidity, shade from trees, and salt air create perfect conditions for moss growth, which can lift shingles and trap moisture. Flashing around chimneys and vents can also separate due to thermal expansion and corrosion. We start with a safe, professional moss removal and apply zinc strips to inhibit regrowth. For flashing, we assess for damage, seal separations, or install new, corrosion-resistant flashing to restore a watertight seal and protect your home's structure.

Our inspection focuses on areas where moss holds moisture and where flashing is most vulnerable, like valleys and penetrations. We check for soft decking, compromised shingles, and any signs of water staining in your attic. Repairs involve replacing any rotted wood, reinstalling secure underlayment, and carefully resealing or replacing the flashing with high-quality materials designed to withstand Cape Cod's weather, ensuring your roof is solid and leak-free.

Absolutely. Prevention is key. We recommend trimming overhanging branches to increase sun exposure and airflow, which discourages moss. Installing zinc or copper strips along the roof ridge provides long-term moss inhibition. For flashing, we ensure proper installation technique and material selection—often using heavier-gauge metals—to better resist the elements. Regular professional inspections, especially after severe storms, help us catch and address minor issues before they become major repairs.
