Moss and Algae Removal in Apopka, Florida

The roofs of Apopka face a climate that is among the toughest in the country. Apopka’s hot, humid summers bring powerful afternoon thunderstorms almost every day, and the lightning, wind, and rain hammer the roof flashings and the exposed nail heads. Moss and Algae Removal in Apopka means work done to a standard that survives the Florida weather — not the minimum, but the right way the first time.

• Lichens growing on the shingle and the tile

• The roof holds moisture long after the rain

Why Apopka Roofs Need Moss and Algae Removal
