Moss and lichen aren't just cosmetic — they hold water against the tile surface, accelerate freeze-thaw damage and block gutters as they fall in winter storms. Left long enough, heavy moss growth can shorten a concrete tile roof's life by a decade or more.
We remove moss the right way — by hand-scraping and soft-brushing, not by pressure-washing (which strips the tile surface and forces water under the laps). A long-life biocide treatment then keeps regrowth to a minimum for years.
