Roofing Contractor in Tumwater, WA

Moss is the recurring, unglamorous reality of roofing in this part of the state. Tumwater’s combination of consistent moisture and, in more tree-covered lots toward the edges of town, heavy shade, creates ideal conditions for moss growth on roofing surfaces. Left unaddressed, moss holds moisture against shingles and accelerates wear well beyond what the shingles’ rated lifespan assumes. Moss prevention and periodic cleaning are a real maintenance consideration here.
