Mossy Roof Estacada, OR

Are you experiencing a mossy roof? It could be time for an upgrade

At Stalcup Roofing, we know roofs in the Pacific Northwest. And one of the biggest problems home and commercial property owners face? Mossy roofs.

While moss growth is a completely normal occurrence here in Estacada and the Portland area, it does not mean that it is okay to leave as-is. In fact, if a mossy roof is left for too long, serious and irreversible mossy roof damage can take place. In these cases, a roof replacement might be necessary to keep your roof safe.

We take on roofing installation and replacement projects of all types and sizes. Our team can come out to you, determine if your roof needs to be replaced, and provide a complimentary quote. No matter what you need out of your roof, we’re equipped to handle it.

As a safety assurance to our clients, Stalcup Roofing is fully licensed, bonded, and insured.

Why Do Mossy Roofs Need to be Cleaned or Replaced?

Beyond lessening the curb appeal of your home, moss is a big problem due to its ability to hold water. Roofs are designed to efficiently drain water away from your home when it rains. When moss grows on your roof, however, water is held by the moss. This creates multiple problems.

First off, the moss will grow heavy, eventually and over time weakening the structural integrity of your roof. This lowers the lifespan of your roof, but also increases the likelihood that a leak will develop. Just as crucially, the water-soaked moss will slowly emit water. This creates a high probability of a leak as the water is not able to drain off your roof, it just stays there as if it were a puddle (also a problem).

While some moss that is just there for a couple of months before it is cleaned does not present an issue, if left for years and left to fester, this can cause your roof to need to be replaced due to a major leak or structural issue.
