A Dose of Zinc May Help Your Roof


Easy to install zinc strips for good "roof health"
Have you ever noticed that on the north side of the roof moss can sometimes grow? Left alone the moss can prematurely wear the roof down. But there is a cure for this roof malady. Recently I met Jim Nelson, from James R. Nelson Remodeling of Nashotah, out at a home in Oconomowoc where he was installing zinc strips on the ridge of the roof. He told me that this was a safer way to remove the moss from a roof. The rain washes the zinc down the roof which kills the moss or offending growth. The installation takes a few minutes and is easier on the shingles than most other products. The strips will take a little longer to arrive at the desired outcome but also keep you off the roof, which is a great advantage.
