Steep A-Frame Roof Moss Removal on a 12/12 Pitch

Most contractors won't touch a 12/12 pitch. That's basically a wall. It's the kind of roof where one wrong step matters, and a lot of guys will take a pass rather than deal with the risk. This was one of those roofs.

The A-frame had a solid buildup of moss packed into the shingle seams across every face of the roof. Left alone, that moss holds moisture against the shingles, works its way under the edges, and slowly breaks down the material underneath. It's not just an eyesore - it's actively shortening the life of the roof.

We got up there with the right gear and worked through it section by section. Manual removal first, scraping the moss out of the seams and off the shingles without beating up the surface. Once it was clean, we applied a treatment to make sure it doesn't just come right back a season later. That's the part a lot of people skip - and it's exactly why some roofs end up needing this done over and over.

The after is a clean, clear roof that's actually set up to last. No moss, no buildup sitting in the seams, and a protective treatment doing its job. Jobs like this are what we genuinely enjoy taking on. The steeper and trickier the roof, the more it matters that someone who knows what they're doing is up there.

If you've got a steep roof or one that other people have turned down, that's exactly the kind of work we do. Moss removal and treatment on any pitch - walkable or not.
