A Clear Plan for Your Portland Roof
Moss treatment and debris removal do different jobs. The first visit targets active growth.
The optional second visit improves the immediate appearance of your roof and helps clear drainage paths.
PHASE 1
Treat active growth
We apply a professional soft wash treatment using an SH (sodium hypochlorite) and surfactant solution to target and kill moss, algae, lichen, and spores at the root.
- Targets the organic buildup affecting the roof.
- Allows treated moss to die and break down naturally.
- In most cases, treatment alone is sufficient to stop active moss growth.
Natural release can take several weeks to several months, depending on buildup, roof conditions, and weather. Dead moss or staining may remain visible during this period.

PHASE 2
Remove dead moss
For homeowners who prefer a faster cosmetic result, we return approximately 7-14 days later to gently remove remaining dead moss and debris using specialized low-pressure techniques.
- Removes the bulk of softened, dead organic growth.
- Helps restore drainage and improve roof appearance.
- Clears related gutter and surrounding ground debris as
needed.
This visit is optional. Deep-seated dead root fragments may remain to weather away naturally, we do not aggressively scrape between shingles.

A cleaner-looking roof should not come at the expense of its protective surface. During Phase 2, our approach prioritizes the spaces between asphalt shingles and their protective mineral granules.

Standard roof restoration pricing is based on typical moss growth on the primary residence.
The following conditions can result in additional charges.
Pre-existing gutter buildup
Removal of debris entering the gutters from our roof cleaning is included. Significant pre-existing debris requiring gutter cleaning before the roof service carries an additional charge.
Heavy moss accumulation
Excessive moss beyond typical conditions requires additional treatment solution, labor, and service time, resulting in an additional charge.
Steep or complex roofs
A steep roof fee covers the additional time and labor needed for fall protection setup, safety equipment, and safe access.
Additional structures
Detached garages, pool houses, sheds, and other outbuildings may carry an additional charge for the added roof area, materials, labor, and time.

Portland Roof Moss Removal Questions
Portland Roof
Moss Removal Questions
Do I need both roof restoration visits?
No. 1st visit is the treatment phase, and in most cases it is sufficient to stop active moss growth. 2nd visit is optional for homeowners who want the remaining dead moss and debris removed sooner for an improved immediate appearance.
How long does moss take to come off after treatment?
Treated moss breaks down and releases naturally through weather exposure. This may take several weeks and, in some cases, several months. The timeline varies with moss severity, roof conditions, and weather. Some staining or dead moss may remain visible while this happens.
When is the optional second visit?
The optional restoration visit is performed approximately 7–14 days after the initial treatment. It focuses on gently removing the bulk of the dead moss and related debris.
Will every trace of moss be removed during Phase 2?
No. We remove the bulk of visible dead moss, but do not aggressively scrape deep-seated dead roots from between shingles. Remaining microscopic root fragments weather away naturally over the following months.
Is gutter cleaning included?
We remove debris that enters the gutters as a result of our roof cleaning. If substantial pre-existing debris requires gutter cleaning before the roof service, an additional gutter cleaning charge applies.
Does roof restoration mean roof replacement?
The service described here consists of soft wash moss treatment and optional dead-moss and debris removal. Roof replacement and structural repairs are not part of the described service scope.
