Multi Tasking

The funky build-up of moss will typically feast on the North and West facing portions of any style/shape of roof. I almost feel as though I see it everywhere I go. Some is worse than others, that sort of thing. This is a property off Clubhouse in Aptos. It definitely gets sun, but only in the summer, and of course only when it’s sunny. This particular roof was very walkable, it was one story, AND I was already doing their decks. I felt compelled to make them an offer they couldn’t refuse.

The deck(s) I have been maintaining for almost 20 years. The first half dozen years I probably washed and stained this deck about three times. Now that it’s under the maintenance spell, every three or so years is just fine. The deck gets medium daily sun and fairly light foot traffic. It is completely surrounded by all different types of tall trees that make a pretty good mess. I think they have landscapers that quickly give it a blow once a week and that likely helps the cause.

As you can see, even the boards that aren’t yet stained are still holding plenty of stain from the application three years prior. Love how nicely spaced these boards are too!
