The Silent Roof Killer That’s Shortening Your Shingles’ Lifespan

Lately, as I’ve been driving around and taking my walks, I can’t help but notice something creeping across rooftops everywhere—moss.

That soft green growth might look “natural,” but here’s the truth: it’s a sponge sitting on your shingles, holding water, trapping debris, and quietly eating away at your roof.

Why Moss Is a Roof’s Worst Enemy

• Holds moisture – keeping your shingles wet long after the rain stops.

  
  

• Lifts shingles – creating gaps where wind and ice can pry them loose.

  
  

• Accelerates granule loss – the protective coating that keeps shingles weather-resistant starts washing away faster.

  
  

• Blocks drainage – water backs up, freezes, and forms ice dams.

  
  

• Kills curb appeal – and that means hurting resale value.

If you’ve looked up lately and seen even a patch of moss, it’s not just cosmetic. It’s a warning sign your roof’s lifespan is being cut short.

Ever notice how one side of your roof looks clean and the other side looks like a science experiment? That’s because moss thrives in shade and dampness. Take a drive past the curling rink in Sicamous—one side looks fine, the shaded side is covered in green carpet.

That’s how fast it can spread.
