ROOF VENTILATION

Why Roof Ventilation Matters More Than You Think

Your attic needs to breathe. Without proper roof ventilation, heat and moisture get trapped—leading to problems that cost thousands to fix.

In summer, poor attic ventilation turns your attic into an oven, making your AC work harder and driving up energy bills. In winter, warm moist air rises into a poorly ventilated attic, condensing on cold surfaces and causing rot, mold, and ice dams.

Proper roof ventilation balances intake (through soffits) and exhaust (through ridge vents or other systems) to keep air moving and moisture out. It’s one of the most overlooked—and most important—parts of roof health.

One Call Takes Care Of It All

Inspection, estimate, installation, and follow-up—all from one team that stays with you from start to finish.

Ice Dams

Heat escaping into the attic melts snow, which refreezes at roof edge and backs up under shingles.

Mold & Mildew

Trapped moisture creates perfect conditions for mold growth in your attic and walls.

Premature Shingle Failure

Excessive attic heat bakes shingles from below, voiding warranties and shortening roof life.

High Energy Bills

A hot attic in summer makes your AC work overtime. Poor ventilation costs you money year-round.

Types of Roof Ventilation We Install

Every home is different. We assess your attic and recommend the right ventilation system for your roof type, climate, and budget.

Ridge Vents

Installed along the roof peak for continuous exhaust ventilation. Low-profile, effective, and our most recommended solution for most homes.

Soffit Vents

Installed in the eaves to provide intake air. Essential for balanced attic ventilation—works with ridge vents to create proper airflow.

Box Vents / Static Vents

Individual exhaust vents installed near the roof peak. Good for homes where ridge vents aren’t practical.

Powered Attic Fans

Electric or solar-powered fans that actively exhaust hot air. Useful for attics with limited passive ventilation options.

Gable Vents

Installed in gable ends of the attic. Can work as intake or exhaust depending on your system design.

Turbine Vents

Wind-powered spinning vents that draw hot air out of the attic. Effective when wind is available.

FAQs

Common Questions About Roof Ventilation

How do I know if my attic has poor ventilation?

Signs include: ice dams in winter, excessive heat in your attic during summer, moisture or frost on attic surfaces, mold or mildew smell, peeling paint on exterior walls, and unusually high energy bills. A free inspection can identify ventilation issues before they cause major damage.

What's the difference between intake and exhaust ventilation?

Intake vents (usually soffit vents) bring fresh air into the attic from below. Exhaust vents (like ridge vents) let hot, moist air escape from the top. A balanced system needs both—roughly equal amounts of intake and exhaust—to create proper airflow.

Are ridge vents better than other types?

Ridge vents are often the best choice because they provide continuous ventilation along the entire roof peak, they're low-profile, and they work with natural convection. However, the best solution depends on your roof design. Some homes need box vents, powered fans, or a combination. Our ridge vents installation ensures proper integration with your system.

How much does roof ventilation installation cost?

Roof ventilation installation costs vary based on your home's size, the type of system needed, and current attic conditions. Most residential projects range from $300 to $2,500. Ridge vents installation during a roof replacement is most cost-effective. We provide detailed estimates after every inspection.

Can I add ventilation without replacing my roof?

Yes. We can add or upgrade ventilation on existing roofs. Soffit vents, box vents, powered fans, and sometimes ridge vents can be installed without a full roof replacement. We'll assess your situation and recommend the most practical approach for your attic ventilation needs.

What does soffit and fascia installation include?

Soffit and fascia installation includes removing damaged materials, inspecting the underlying structure, installing new vented or solid soffits as needed, and replacing fascia boards. We match colors and styles to your existing trim, and ensure proper ventilation airflow through vented soffit panels.
