Hello,


Have noticed a fair amount of greenish Mold (or Moss ?) on shingles in
some areas of my roof.


Live in New England; gets quite cold up here during the winter.


* * - Is it harmful for the Shingles ?

* * - Will the cold temp. kill the stuff over the winter ?


* * - Will it rejuvenate itself in the Spring ?
* * * Or, just new patches in other areas likely ?


What causes ?


If it is really necessary to treat before the winter sets in, and I can
get up there to spray it with something, what's good to use that
won't harm the Shingles ?


Would prefer, I think, a commercial product rather than mixing something
up myself.


Thanks,
Bob


Once you begin to see that green stuff on your roof, that's an indicator
it's time for a new roof. *Replace it before winter or you will have

Why do you say that moss is an indicator ofa failing roof?
