Good/great rolled roofing?

Are there any DIY low pitch rolled roofing products available that last as long as the malarkey legacy shingle?

Thanks

Trim for Downspout through Decking

G

Grasor on Apr 28, 2023

Hello All, I'm redecking a patio on the year of my home and will be altering the downspout that is currently passing through the decking at a ~45 degree angle so that it is passing straight through the decking at a perpendicular 90 degree angle. I wanted to see if anyone had advice for how to trim around the 2x3 downspout as it passes through the decking so it looks a bit nicer than just a hole in the deck. Or if there's some kind of item made for this purpose that goes from 2x3 to attach to the 4" round flex pipe under the patio. Thanks. GrasorRead More

Minor Cleaning of Moss-Stained Roofing Tile

S

SteveHomeowner on May 14, 2023

We're slowly making numerous minor repairs & maintenance to get a 33-year old house (we owned for 4 years) ready for sale. On the list is cleaning off clods of moss that grow in a shaded spot on the roof of this 2-story hardly exposed to the direct sun (a part facing north). We removed the clods in a dry state, then did minor hosing from a 2nd story bathroom window so the hard stream came down from above (image 1). The close-ups in other images show the garden hose high pressure water won't de-stain what's embedded. I have an idea of what might work but I need to run it by the experts & experienced to avoid a horror. I figure a solution that combines weak bleach and laundry detergent: perhaps a 5% solution from bleach bottle [1 part bleach, 20 parts water) with a capful of laundry detergent or strong surfactant. Absolutely no alcohols of any kind or petroleum distillates. I would pre-wet the affected tile, then apply a spray bottle of the solution liberally and thoroughly on the affected areas. Let it sit 5-10 minutes. Then use the garden hose nozzle again from the 2nd story bathroom window to rinse off. If after drying it actually looked like it was effective from 25-50%, repeat even 2-3 times so it almost looks like a professional washing. Any thoughts? Experiences to share?
