I noticed over the weekend that I am getting a build up of moss on my back
porch roof. The roof is under trees and gets very little sun.

Will the moss shorten the life of the asphalt shingles?

Is there a way to get rid of the moss? Some people recommended that I
should spray the roof with a bleach solution to get rid of the moss. Would
this be a good idea?

Thanks


The bleach will help. Better solution is to remove branches overhead,
or just remove those trees that overhang your house. I prefer to go
one step further and keep all branches at least 10 feet from the
house. Your gutters will stay cleaner and this will help keep
squirrels off your roof.
