I live in Michigan and my roof faces North, therefore doesn't see much sunlight. My roof is starting to get green fugus or mossy looking growths on the shingles. Should I try brushing this off, and is there any solution that I could use while I am brushing it away?
Answer:
Your local building meterials shop will have a variety of products that will clean if off. You may have to apply this every couple of years but it does help the longevity of the shinngles.
In the interests of retaining credibility and in fairness to all, I cannot comment on specific products, recommend prices, people nor companies for various projects.
Telephone and E mail information is always free so please don’t hesitate to take advantage of it.
Remember, even if you don’t do your own work around the house have to hire someone, you put yourself at a great advantage when you can intelligently discuss a project with the various trades people.
