One almost universally misunderstood subject regarding roofs involves ventilation and airflow. A roof is not just a deck covered with shingles. It is a properly designed and constructed system of components that keep out the elements and maintain energy-efficiency. This means that your attic is properly insulated, minimizing heating and cooling loss. Equally important is a roof deck temperature that is kept consistent with outside temperatures, maintaining a COOL ROOF.

Common problems with roof ventilation are blocked soffit vents, improperly specified or installed vents, or no ventilation at all. While there are many types of attic ventilation, the specifications must be met for your particular roof with a properly designed and installed solution.

Recent extreme Winters have led to enormous ice damage to homes in New England. Most damage can be entirely prevented with proper ventilation and insulation. And the cost of repairs far outweighs the investment in a properly constructed roof.
