If you live in Lakewood, you have seen it: green patches creeping across a roof, thickest on the north side and under trees. Moss looks harmless. It is not. It holds moisture against your shingles, lifts their edges, and lets water work its way underneath — which is how a cosmetic problem quietly becomes a roof problem.
Why we do not pressure wash shingles
Pressure washing strips granules off asphalt shingles and shortens roof life. That is why we use a brush method instead: we brush moss off at the roots, blow and rinse away the debris, then treat the roof to slow regrowth. It takes longer. It also leaves your shingles intact.
That brush method is the same one we use in our fall bundle — roof cleaning + gutter cleaning + moss treatment, starting at $399, all in one visit.
What moss treatment actually does
Cleaning gets the moss you can see. Treatment is what slows the moss you cannot see yet. After a deep clean, we apply treatment that subdues regrowth, and we talk with you about annual maintenance — because in western Washington, moss comes back. A roof cleaned once and ignored for five years will look like it was never cleaned.
Most Lakewood homes do best on a yearly plan: a full clean and treatment, then a check the following year before the moss gets thick again.
Signs your Lakewood roof needs treatment now
- Green or dark patches, especially on shaded slopes
- Moss lifting shingle edges or growing in the valleys
- Granules or moss debris collecting in your gutters
- A roof that has not been cleaned in two or more years
If you are seeing any of those, do not wait for a leak to tell you. A cleaning now is far cheaper than a repair later.
