Q: How do you prevent moss from growing on a roof?

• <div><p>You may become so frustrated with the look of moss on your roof that you contemplate whether to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-reasons-clean-your-roof-instead-replacing-it.htm">clean or replace your roof</a>. Fortunately, you don&rsquo;t have to go as far as replacing it. After cleaning the moss, you can use a chemical solution to keep it away. For further protection, trim branches that overhang the roof, as fallen seed pods and leaves on the roof allow moisture to collect, encouraging moss growth. Consider adding zinc-coated flashing to the roof, too. As rain washes across the zinc, it leaves zinc particles behind that inhibit moss growth.</p></div>

Q: Can roof cleaning prevent the need for repairs?

• <div><p>Yes, cleaning removes harmful elements that contribute to rot or degradation, extending the roof's lifespan and averting costly future repairs.</p></div>

Q: What is involved in the roof cleaning process?

• <div><p>It generally involves soft washing with eco-friendly detergents to remove contaminants, avoiding high-pressure methods that can damage materials.</p></div>

Q: Should I clean a green roof?

• <div><p>A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-a-green-roof.htm">green roof</a> is a roof design that includes a thin layer of vegetation on the roof surface. It&rsquo;s an environmentally friendly option. Some green roofs may look like they have moss or algae on them, causing neighbors to suggest that you clean the roof. However, you should never try to clean a green roof, as any cleaning methods you deploy will likely kill the vegetation.</p></div>

Q: Do repairs include cleaning?

• <div><p>Yes, many services include cleaning as part of the repair process. Confirm with your provider.</p></div>

"Pro called me within five minutes of my placing request. He and I scheduled for the next morning and job was completed in less that 1 and 1/2 hours. He was polite and thorough. Prices were higher than I expected, but fireplace and chimney had not had any attention in more than 15 years. I feel the money was well worth it. Would recommend Mr. Bledsoe to anyone who needs this service."
