Warm, damp Gulf air sits on shingles for months at a time, and the heavy tree canopy across most New Orleans neighborhoods means a roof rarely gets a full day of direct sun to dry out.
Warm, damp Gulf air sits on shingles for months at a time, and the heavy tree canopy across most New Orleans neighborhoods means a roof rarely gets a full day of direct sun to dry out. That combination is exactly what moss, lichen, and black algae need to take hold. Every spring, live oak pollen adds a yellow-green film across the whole roof, and storm season brings splash-back and debris that traps even more moisture against the shingles.
Moss and lichen aren’t just cosmetic. They settle into low spots and depressions where water already collects, and as they grow they work into the seal between shingles. Left alone, that opens channels for water to get underneath the shingle line, which is how a roof starts leaking. Black algae spreads the same way, feeding on moisture trapped against the surface. A roof is the most exposed part of a home, so catching this early is a lot cheaper than a repair.
We wash the roof using a method matched to the material and how bad the buildup is, gentle enough not to strip granules or damage shingles, strong enough to actually clear moss and algae rather than just knock the top layer off. Regular cleaning keeps water moving off the roof the way it’s supposed to and helps the roof reach its full remaining life instead of aging early from trapped moisture. Pricing depends on roof size, pitch, and how much growth has built up. We quote it in writing after taking a look.
