Moss on a shaded Lakeside slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it.

3What the Weather Does to a Lakeside Roof
Low-slope sections in Lakeside hold heat worst, which is why coatings and reflective membranes pay for themselves here. It is the same story on most Lakeside streets. On most jobs, lakeside gets its rain in a handful of concentrated winter storms, which means drainage that sat dry collecting debris has to move everything at once.

Afternoon sun on a west-facing Lakeside slope ages that side years ahead of the rest of the roof.

Budgeting a Lakeside replacement a few years out costs nothing and removes the pressure of choosing a contractor during a storm. Square footage is only half the cost of a Lakeside roof; pitch, access and layer count move the number as much. We see it on Lakeside roofs every week.

6How We Inspect a Lakeside Roof
A Lakeside inspection should end with a itemised report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price. This holds across San Diego County. We check ventilation on every Lakeside project, since a roof covering that cannot breathe will not reach its rated life. Flashing at the wall junction is checked soonest on any Lakeside inspection, because that is where most ceiling stains originate. Put simply, a Lakeside roof is inspected from the attic as well as the roof surface; half the evidence is underneath. Realistically, a proper Lakeside inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb fail long ahead of the covering does.
Moss on a shaded Lakeside slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it. That is as true in Lakeside as anywhere in San Diego County.
