Preference on appearance varies, but once you notice a buildup in debris, change in color, or increase in small spots on the roof, there is likely moss nestling under the shingles.

Absolutely! As the saying goes, you only have one chance at a first impression and your roof is the first thing potential buyers will see. A dirty or discolored roof can give the impression that the rest of the house is not well-maintained, which could make it more difficult to sell or lower its value by thousands or more. It is also likely the home inspector will request the roof be cleaned during the inspection period anyway, so it is better to get ahead and allow your house to be appreciated by as many people as possible.
