Roof moss
- Does moss actually damage your roof? Moss, algae and lichen are three different things and only one of them matters. Includes a five-stage scale so you can place your own roof from the driveway, and two of the five stages need no action at all.
- When should you treat roof moss? Any dry day between October and May, with spring the sweet spot — and the search and rainfall data behind why. Wider than most advice admits.
- Does a roof moss contractor need a license in Washington? Washington law treats your roof as “land,” which puts moss treatment under the Pesticide Application Act. There are eight licensed applicators in the whole county. Most people are surprised.
Gutters
- Gutter cleaning in Pierce County When to book it, what a thorough visit actually includes, and the 29,000 gallons a year that have to go somewhere. The needle drop and the rain arrive together here, which is what makes the timing local.
- Do gutter guards actually work? Yes, when the guard matches the trees above the roof — in conifer country that distinction is everything. The evidence for guards, the type that works under firs, and what a professional installation gets you.
