Moss and lichen galore but the sauce did the trick!

Please fill out your profile and signature in your profile as fourm rules require. You might also try using the advanced editor to attach & upload picture files. The way you presented your pictures stretches the fourm and are hard to evaluate.

Looks like you got the roof clean. Good job.

I would also suggest you use search to look up topic on how to take before and after pictures. I think Mike Sullivan was the author and it contains some very good tips.

Nice work.  Would you mind walking us through your process?

Well basically I hit it with apple cider sauce (minus the TSP because I bought the wrong stuff by accident).  I came back the next day and saw that everything was pretty much dead but since no rain was predicted I decided to use a garden hose and spray off the dead moss etc. just so that I could get a decent picture for the website.

The after picture that you see is still wet and if you look at the top of the photo you can see small bits of moss that the hose didn't completely remove.

Anyway, the HO is happy and since she lives on a corner lot on a busy street, I hope to get additional work off of this one sale (once my yard signs arrive).

Nice job from what I can see. You should try to get pic's of the entire roof. (one side)

I have before and after pics of the entire roof but they aren't very good because most of the roof is obstructed by shadows and tree limbs.  Also, the really mossy/lichen filled parts were on that little bit next to the dormer.

She did have some nasty green stuff growing on the side of her house which came off almost immediately.
