Moss & Algae FAQ
Why does moss and algae grow on roofs?
Moss and algae thrive in shaded, moist conditions common in the Capital Region. Trees overhang roofs, trap moisture, and create ideal growth conditions. Moss holds water against shingles, accelerating granule loss and deterioration. Algae appears as dark streaks, indicating biological growth. Mastaba Roofing removes both safely to prevent damage.
Is roof moss and algae dangerous?
Yes. Moss growth traps moisture, rotting shingles and accelerating decay, potentially shortening roof life by years. Algae discolors and weakens shingles. Both retain moisture leading to ice damming in winter. Regular cleaning prevents this damage and preserves your roof's lifespan and curb appeal.
How much does moss and algae removal cost in Albany, NY?
Roof cleaning typically costs $400 to $800 depending on roof size and growth extent. The investment prevents thousands in premature roof replacement. Mastaba Roofing uses safe methods and provides preventive treatments to slow regrowth. Free estimates available for all cleaning jobs.
