Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need the moss removed from my roof?
Moss and debris on the roof slow the flow of water allowing the water more time to penetrate the roofing material. It also promotes more growth which eats at and decays building materials. This is a common problem in the West Linn area because of Oregon’s rainy weather.
What’s the safest/most effective way to remove moss?
Never pressure wash shingles! It will destroy them. The high pressured water will remove granules. The process is to put your back into and scrub the roof with a firm bristle brush. Then either broom or blow the roof debris off. Make sure to remove any fallen debris from the gutters.
Are gutter guards effective?
They are semi effective. You still end up with debris and needles that end up in your gutters. So then you have to pay to have the gutter guards removed and replaced after cleaning. The other problem is when leaves sit on top of the guards, the water will run right over the top like a ramp and miss your gutters all together opening up the chance of additional harm.
You almost save money just paying for cleaning go yearly instead of the pricy install and cleaning a few years later.
What type of treatment do you use?
Our Clackamas team uses Wet & Forget. It’s eco friendly non toxic and non bleach. Is will kill off mold, mildew, and lichen over time. You should see great results in 3-6 months, and it inhibits future growth. For bad cases, it can be applied every six months and should maintain a perfect roof.

How long will my roof last?
