Step One: Make the Environment Inhospitable for Mold
The most important step in discouraging mold is to take away its favorite things: moisture and shadow. Remove any nearby vines or branches if possible to maximize direct sunlight and a healthy flow of air.
Contact your local roofing store about zinc strips. Zinc will initiate a chemical reaction that effectively stops mold from any further group. This rather clever invention will send water – and thus, the chemical reaction – down the slope of your roof when it rains.

Remember that mold is famously resilient, so check well and often for regrowth. An annual re-cleaning is also highly recommended.
