Tile and composition roof moss removal and treatment
Proudly Serving the Clark County & Portland Metro Area
Do you have moss Growing On Your Roof?
If you live in the Portland or Vancouver area, then you’re familiar with cloudy and rainy days. Unfortunately, this is exactly the type of weather that moss and fungi need to grow and overtake your roof.
In a wet climate like the Pacific Northwest, it’s extremely important to maintain your roof and keep moss at bay. Moss soaks up moisture like a sponge which means a mossy roof is a perpetually wet roof.
Is moss really bad for my roof?
The Pacific Northwest is known for its wet and rainy weather, and moss is a common sight across Washington & Oregon. Many homeowners in the area wonder, “should I remove moss from my roof?” The answer is yes. Not only does a mossy roof look bad, but moss can damage your roof by:
- Damaging your roof shingles or tile
- Allowing water to leak into your home
- Encouraging roof rot, bacteria and mold growth
- Creating thin spots and holes in your roof
- Weakening your roof’s integrity and shortening it’s lifespan
Whether you notice a small amount of moss on your roof or are dealing with a roof completely overgrown with moss, we can help remove and prevent moss from growing on your roof, and possibly save your roof from a more expensive roof repair. We specialize in moss removal, along with complete shingle roof cleaning and tile roof cleaning in Vancouver.

Roof Moss Preventative Treatments
On tile and composition roofs, we use a preventative treatment to kill the moss. This treatment can take up to a few weeks to fully kill the moss. The moss on your roof will slowly turn a yellowish-brown color and eventually turn black.
We use tried and true moss preventative treatments to keep moss and other roof rot-causing organisms away from your roof. Our moss prevention treatments cover the entire roof, ensuring moss has nowhere to grow.

Customer Reviews
Rating: 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I used NW Roof Maintenance for some minor shingle repair, gutter cleaning, and moss treatment. I am very pleased with the service I received from Micah (initial service) and Nick (follow-up service), as well as from the office personnel. They were timely and professional and provided transparent and fair pricing for the services they recommended. I chose to do a subset of the services they recommended and there was zero pressure to do the other services I chose to postpone. After a month I took them up on their offer to re-treat a section of the roof that still had some moss and they came out to treat it again at no charge and hassle-free. Highly recommend.” -Patrick T. on Google

“A fabulous company! Everyone, from administrative staff to people that did the work were professional and great to work with. The roof cleaning was exceptional. When the weather looked like it was going to turn, they voluntarily delayed the final moss removal application and came back later. They did extra work to clean out a downspout. And the price was very reasonable. Will certainly use them again. Can’t recommend them enough.” -R. Kennedy on Google

“Oscar and Matt were awesome to work with. They came to do a small roof repair as well as a moss treatment on roof and gutters. They explained everything they were doing and answered any questions I had about their process. Reuben did the initial inspection and provided several before photos. After the repairs were done, Oscar and Matt provided after pictures to confirm all the required work was completed. Very professional, very polite, great to work with!” -Shane M. on Google

“Everyone I dealt with was professional and just plain “nice”. The quote was reasonable and the young man who did the work was polite and worked hard (lot of moss due to lots of trees/shade and a few years of deferred maintenance) to get the moss off our roof and cleaned up the most of the moss that had fallen to the ground. We will use them again!” -Kim L. on Google

“This spring was so wet that the moss grew at twice the pace of other years! I had a friend recommend NW Roof Maintenance and they came out quickly to give me an estimate and because I am a senior citizen gave me a discount on the total. The price was fair and I hired them. I will recommend them to my friends because they cleaned the roof and all the debris from the roof so I didn’t have a mess to clean. Thanks for a great job!” -C.C. on Google

“Their quotation was the only one of the three that reflected what I wanted done rather than what they thought I should have done to the moss on my roof. They also had the most reasonable price. The technician was very courteous, did a great job and cleaned up afterwards.” -Rod E. on Google

FAQs
Do you offer a warranty on your moss prevention services?
Yes, we do provide a warranty on our treatments. If your first application isn’t effective, we’ll come back within the warranty period at no cost to you!
Can you apply a moss prevention treatment if it's raining?
Our moss prevention treatment can be applied even in the rain. We have two different treatments. One is used specifically when it is wet and the other during the dry months. The wet weather treatment is optimal for when we have our rainy Portland and Vancouver weather.
Can't I just clean my tile roof by myself?
This is very dangerous and we do NOT recommend it. Every year, thousands of homeowners hurt themselves while trying to work on their roof. Additionally, if you’re not experienced working on roofs, you can cause a lot of damage.
Can you remove moss from cement tile roofs?
On cement tile roofs a high-pressure wash may be necessary to free moss, mildew, lichen, and algae. This process can accelerate the deterioration of your roof, so we only use this method in extreme cases, or as required by HOA regulations.
