Removing Moss and Applying Fresh Roof in Vancouver, Washington
The insurance company said new roof or no policy. We had a better answer, and it came with a written warranty.
Brady's insurance company sent the letter no homeowner wants: replace the roof or lose your coverage. Roofer after roofer offered him a full replacement. He called us instead, and we saved the roof he already had with moss removal and our Fresh Roof treatment.
The Letter From the Insurance Company
Insurance companies around here have started sending letters about aging, mossy roofs. Brady got one, and it was blunt: fix the roof problem or the policy gets cancelled.
He'd fought the moss himself years earlier, scraping it off while sliding around on a steep pitch. He even wore through a pair of pants doing it. Here's the rough part: scraping can damage asphalt shingles, so all that hard work can leave a roof worse off. And a full reroof would cost serious money he didn't want to spend.
Rejuvenate, Don't Replace
We inspected the roof and walked Brady through what it actually needed. The shingles had life left in them. So instead of a tear-off, we recommended roof rejuvenation with our Fresh Roof product.
First came the cleaning. The amount of moss that came off surprised even Brady. Then we applied Fresh Roof, which soaks into aging shingles and restores the oils they lose to sun and rain. GreenSoy technology keeps it safe around plants and landscaping.
What Brady Got
Here's how the job wrapped up:
- A thorough moss removal, with the roof properly treated and cleaned
- The Fresh Roof system applied to his existing roof, no tear-off
- A written 6-year warranty, with paperwork his insurer accepted
- His policy stayed active, and he skipped the cost of a full replacement
The Paperwork That Satisfied the Insurer
The warranty mattered as much as the wash. Fresh Roof carries a written six-year warranty covering material defects and shingle flexibility. We handed that paperwork to Brady, Brady handed it to his insurance company, and his coverage stayed in force.
If a letter like this lands in your mailbox, call the Dawg before you call a roofer. We'll look at the roof for free and tell you straight: rejuvenate it, or replace it. We do this all over Vancouver and the surrounding towns.
Before and After
Brady's Take
“Before Bill started, you could see some moss on the roof, but the amount that came off during the cleaning process was surprising to say the least. He was extremely thorough, and a ton of moss came off. It was clear he wasn't cutting corners and made sure everything was properly treated and cleaned.”
