Moss on a shaded Noe Valley slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it. This holds across San Francisco County. Most Noe Valley roof coverings that fail early fail at a penetration someone could have resealed for a few hundred dollars. Annual inspection on a Noe Valley property typically adds two to three years to the back end of a roof's service service life. It is the same story on most Noe Valley streets.
Put simply, silicone coatings hold up well on Noe Valley roofs that pond slightly, where acrylic would not. Composition shingle is the nearly all common covering in Noe Valley and the cheapest to swap out, but it is also the earliest to show UV harm. As a rule, reclaimed tile can be matched on Noe Valley heritage roof coverings, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new.
