Top 3 Signs You Need Better Roofing Ventilation

A strong and efficient roof is critical to any home or building. It effectively wards off damaging elements, such as snow and hail, and keeps the interiors cozy and well insulated. This is why it is important to maintain your roof in its tip-top shape. One of the many roofing issues to watch out for is poor ventilation, which can lead to damaged shingles, condensation and mildew growth. In this article, a roofing contractor reveals some telltale signs you need better roofing ventilation.

1. Deteriorating Insulation

Good insulation is a standard feature in modern homes. If your attic is not properly ventilated, the fibrous absorbent insulation will soak up and collect moisture, causing your system to degrade a lot faster than it is supposed to. If you notice your insulation failing, it may be caused by excess moisture trapped in the attic space.

2. Damaged Shingles

If you see that your relatively new shingles are buckling, warping, or cracking, it can inculcate that the roof temperature is too high. It can also be a sign that there is trapped moisture underneath the shingles. Improper ventilation is often the main culprit of these instances. Be sure to install sufficient insulation to keep it in good condition for many years to come and avoid an early roof replacement.

3. Excessive Moisture

A well-ventilated attic should remain dry. Warm, moist air from normal household chores, such as cooking and showering, rises into the attic. The attic ventilation should push that air out and let it travel outside. Without adequate ventilation, the moisture will get trapped in the attic, creating an environment where mold and mildew can thrive.

DON'T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT
HERE IS WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY

When we needed a new roof for our home we were met by Home Pro’s lead man, Dan Lynch, who provided us with a detailed breakdown of what the job entailed and the steps that would be taken to complete it. That breakdown was clear, concise and followed thru with professionalism. Home Pro gave us a quality job at a fair price, and you can’t ask for more.

This is the second time we have used Home Pro Exteriors. First time we had a new roof installed and we were completely satisfied with their work. Clean and efficient. Never know the crew was there! Now we had a new window installed in our bedroom…Wow what a difference! both of the crews that worked on our home were extremely professional. and again you would never know any work was done clean and efficient as usual. We would recommend Home Pro to anyone looking for the very best in exterior work for their home.

My wife and I decided to build a home from the ground up. With all the things we had to worry about we didn’t want finding a reliable contractor to be one of them. We called Home Pro to put up the siding because they offered the product and color we were looking for. Their execution was impeccable and more importantly they were honest and reliable.

I hired Home Pro Exteriors to help us execute several projects on a home renovation show and Joe and his crew were as good as it gets. He was professional, friendly, courteous, and worked effectively and efficiently to get the job done. Not only did Joe help execute ideas, but he built an art studio from scratch and made our clients cry tears of joy. He even designed and custom made draft boards for the artist himself...

We finally decided this was the year to build a patio room off the living room. We called several companies for an estimate, and we are so glad Home Pro was one of them. They listened to our needs and worked with us to build a suitable design. They always came on time, kept the space clean, and finished within the timeline given. We are so happy with our patio room! Thanks guys!
