Q: Can moss damage my roof?

• <div><p>Yes, moss can be dangerous for your roof if left in place to grow without treatment. The moss soaks up and holds moisture. Having a constantly damp roof could lead to problems with rot for the parts of the roof that consist of wood. Additionally, a patch of thick moss may draw insects and birds, which could damage the roof. Thick moss could block the roof&rsquo;s drainage system. Water then may back up after a rainstorm and cause further damage that could eventually lead to roof repair expenses or the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-roof-replacement-cost.htm">cost of roof replacement</a>.</p></div>

Q: What surfaces benefit most from power washing?

• <div><p>Decks, driveways, siding, and patios are common areas that see improved appearance.</p></div>

Q: Is bleach or vinegar better to kill moss?

• <div><p>Bleach and vinegar can both kill moss effectively. However, if you&rsquo;d rather use a non-chemical option that&rsquo;s better for the environment, vinegar is the choice. Depending on the paver material you use, vinegar and bleach can also stain or discolor the surface. When unsure, test and use the option that doesn&rsquo;t react with your paver material. </p></div>

Q: What are the benefits of roof cleaning?

• <div><p>Roof cleaning services provide a slew of benefits, the most significant of which is improved curb appeal. Roof cleaning can make a dirty and neglected roof look new again, potentially saving you from replacing your roof to improve its appearance. Roof cleaning will also remove algae and moss, the latter of which can eventually lead to roof leaks from trapped moisture and lifted shingles. In the long run, roof cleaning can prolong the useful life of your roof and prevent property damage, making it a great investment.</p></div>
