Copper Strip Installation

What This Service Involves

Copper is even more potent than zinc as a natural moss suppressant, and it holds up for decades in the Northwest's damp environment. Mounted near the peak, the strips shed copper ions into rainwater that then washes across the roof, discouraging moss, algae, and lichen along the way. Because Washington roofs rarely stay dry for long, this steady release provides consistent protection through most of the year. Owners of higher-end or long-term homes often prefer copper for its longevity and understated appearance.

Our Process

1) Assess the roof layout and determine strip positioning; 2) Prepare and clean the ridge or upper roof area; 3) Fasten copper strips securely near the peak; 4) Seal attachment points and verify runoff distribution

What Affects the Cost

Length of coverage required; Grade and thickness of the copper; Roof complexity and pitch; Accessibility and structure height; Removal of any existing growth beforehand

Best Time of Year
