Hazel Dell Moss Removal

Moss, moss and more moss.  Roofs in the pacific northwest endure some of the toughest conditions in the nation.  Shade, moisture, wind, sun, freezing and more.  Routine maintenance is the only way to prevent costly repairs or even premature roof failure!  Shown is a ranch style home in the Hazel Dell area that has been neglected for a long while.  The roof still has some life, but years have been taken off of this roof due to neglect.  If your home has a layer of moss and/or debris, let us take care of it for you.  After cleaning we can set up a blow off and treatment schedule that will eliminate the need for another extensive cleaning again.  Call us for a free estimate!

Downtown Vancouver - Moss removal and treatment

Are you neglecting your roof?  If that's the case then soon enough it WILL neglect you.  Moss left on a roof retains moisture, roots deep into the roofing material and shortens the life of your roof.  There is good news though.  If you get to it sooner than later the life of your roof can be prolonged.  Take the roof shown in the pictures.  It is about 13 years old and, with proper maintenance, should last 25-30 years depending on the material.  If the owner had left the roof in the condition it was in, who knows how long it would have held out.  After our experienced and well trained technicians removed the moss and treated the roof it looked great and ready to go.  Proper maintenance goes a long way, so don't neglect your roof until it gets a layer like the roof shown.  We recommend treating your roof every 1-2 years so a full clean would not be necessary again.

Vancouver Residential Home


Strangely enough, this 10-15 year old architectural roof is actually in serviceable condition. We brush cleaned and treated this roof on the 13th. Leaving this roof in this condition will shorten the life considerably.  The immediate cost of cleaning it off is far less than having to prematurely replace a roof that should have lasted another 7-10 years.

Improperly installed roof at the gable ends.

When this roof was installed the installers left little to no overhang over the siding and the flashing serves only to direct water directly under the shingles.  Over time the paper underneath failed and the owner experienced leaking in all 4 corners of the house.  Our well trained technicians removed the gable end courses of shingles, installed new underlayment, new t-metal along the gables and installed new best match architectural shingles properly.  When finished, the overhang is around 1.25 inches over the side wall and this will prevent further leakage into the corners of the house.
