Moss on a shaded Canoga Park slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it.
In practice, check the CSLB licence number before any Canoga Park contractor starts, and confirm liability cover and workers' compensation are current. Realistically, ask a Canoga Park contractor for recent addresses nearby and go and look at the work from the street. Written scope, written price and a written warranty are the minimum on any Canoga Park job.
