Roof Ventilation and Insulation: The Hidden Key to Roof Health
Your roof may not be the flashiest feature of your home, but it’s one of the most vital.
Good roofing isn’t just about what’s on top—it’s also about what’s underneath.
Why Ventilation Matters
Proper attic ventilation:
-
Prevents moisture buildup
-
Extends shingle life
-
Reduces energy bills
-
Minimizes ice dams in winter
Signs of poor ventilation:
-
Rusted nails in the attic
-
Peeling paint near the ceiling
-
A hot, stuffy attic in summer
Why Insulation Matters
Good insulation:
-
Keeps your home comfortable year-round
-
Prevents heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer
-
Works in tandem with your HVAC system
Pro Tip: If you’re getting a new roof, it’s a perfect time to inspect and upgrade insulation and ventilation systems.
