Moss & Algae Removal in Loveland, Colorado

The shade and the moisture keep the Loveland roofs damp in spots, and the moss grows on the north side. The moss lifts the shingles and the moisture gets in. Moss and algae removal in Loveland clears the growth and protects the roof.

Signs Your Loveland Roof Has Moss or Algae

• The green patches on the roof — the moss is growing on the shaded slopes
• The dark streaks on the roof — the algae is growing on the damp areas
• The lifted shingles — the moss is growing under the shingles and lifting them
• The debris on the roof — the leaves trap the moisture
• The damp smell in the attic — the moisture is trapped under the growth

Why Loveland Roofs Get Moss and Algae

The shade and the moisture create the conditions. The north-facing slopes stay shaded and the snow melt keeps them wet. The moss and the algae grow in the damp, shaded areas.

The moss is the bigger problem. The moss lifts the shingles and the water gets in. The algae is a cosmetic issue, but the moss is the structural damage.
