Portland Moss Removal
How Moss Can Damage Your Roof
Moss removal in Portland is essential to the maintenance of your home. Roof Life of Oregon is thorough, efficient, and clean so that your daily life is not interrupted. Moss can do a lot of damage to your roof, and if it’s not properly taken care of, excessive moss growth may lead to expensive repairs or even a replacement.
Potential damage can include:
- Loose shingles: As moss underneath shingles grows thicker, it lifts the shingles and causes them to become loose.
- Stripping protective oils: Asphalt shingles have oils that hold the top layer of granules in place. Moss strips these oils, which causes the granules to erode.
- Wood rot: Moss absorbs and retains water, causing the wet moss underneath the shingles to rest on the roof’s wood frame.
- Additional weight: The water that moss retains when it rains can add a lot of additional weight to your roof and will eventually need reinforcing or repairing.
- Blocked gutters: Like other debris, moss can grow thick enough to clog your gutters, preventing them from carrying water off your roof as they should.

The Dennco Difference
We’ve never kept it a secret. There are a lot of other products that people have been using on local roofs, but Dennco is how our team is able to guarantee that your roof won’t be growing a carpet of moss anytime soon after treatment.
Dennco created different formulas specifically for cedar, composition (asphalt), and tile, and we’ll tailor our treatment to your specific roof material.
Because cedar is the most absorbent, our treatments will keep moss off a cedar roof for five years, guaranteed. Composition and tile are less porous than natural wood, so treatment will keep your roof moss free for up to three years.
Other Moss Removal Options
There are several other moss control products out on the market, but we choose not to use them for several reasons. They’re not environmentally friendly, they corrode your roofing components, and are not backed or warrantied by the application manufacturer.
If you’re looking for a team that is as knowledgeable as they are kind and proactive, Roof Life of Oregon is the choice for you. Contact us today to experience the difference for yourself.

What are the dangers of DIY moss removal?“Over the counter” or DIY moss removal problems present dangers to both you and your roof. These chemicals are often caustic, corrosive, and bad for your health if not applied with the proper safety measures in place. The chemicals can also degrade your roof materials, leading to the need for premature repairs and replacements. A mossy roof can also be a very slippery surface, which presents a potential slip and fall danger. Our team puts safety at the forefront of everything we do.
