What You Need to Know About Roof Ventilation

Ventilation is usually a forgotten aspect of residential roofing systems. As with most components, this network of intake and exhaust vents plays a crucial role in keeping the structure intact and your home comfortable. Trusted roofer and deck builder Home Pro Exteriors, Inc. explains everything you need to know about roof ventilation.

Types of Roof Ventilation

The following are some of the most common roof vents used in residential roofing systems:

Ridge vents are installed along the peak of your roof, allowing hot air.
Soffit vents are placed under the eaves of your roof, allowing fresh, cool air to enter your attic and helping push warm air out through the ridge vents.
Gable vents are installed on the exterior walls of your attic or near the roof peak, allowing hot air to escape and promoting circulation.
Roof turbines use wind power to draw out hot air from your attic, increasing air circulation.
Solar-powered vents utilize energy from the sun to create airflow, helping keep your attic cool and well-ventilated.

Benefits of Proper Roof Ventilation

As any roof repair and replacement specialist will tell you, having an efficiently designed and well-maintained roof ventilation system offers several advantages:

Energy efficiency. Proper ventilation helps ensure temperature control in your attic, keeping your indoor living spaces comfortable without putting your HVAC system under unnecessary strain.
Indoor air quality. Airflow inhibits mold and mildew growth, which are known to affect your home’s indoor air quality.
Roof damage prevention. By promoting air circulation in this part of your home through attic ventilation, you protect your roof from the threats of excessive heat and moisture.
Protection against ice dams. Proper ventilation ensures consistent attic temperatures, eliminating the chance of ice dam formation on your roof.

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.

Terry A.Orange County, NY

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 thought redoing our roof would be a nightmare but Home Pro was a dream come true. We really appreciated the time they took to explain what we could expect of the project. Their workers were skilled and a pleasure to deal with. We’re very happy with the finished result and have already recommended Home Pro to others!

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!
