Why Roof Ventilation Matters

Proper ventilation helps:


• Prevent heat buildup


• Reduce moisture accumulation


• Extend roof lifespan


• Improve energy efficiency



Without ventilation, attic temperatures can rise dramatically — damaging roofing materials and increasing cooling costs.

Ridge Vents

Ridge vents are installed along the peak of the roof.


Benefits include:


• Continuous airflow


• Even ventilation


• Improved efficiency



They are one of the most effective ventilation solutions.

Soffit Vents

Soffit vents allow fresh air to enter the attic.



They work with ridge vents to create balanced airflow.

Static Roof Vents

Static vents allow hot air to escape naturally.



They are simple, effective, and low-maintenance.

Powered Roof Vents

Powered vents use fans to improve airflow.



These are helpful in high-heat environments like Texas.
