Why Roof Ventilation Matters
When most homeowners think “roof,” they think shingles. But the real hero of a long-lasting roofing system is ventilation. At Ronnie’s Roofing & Construction, we design roofs that breathe—so your home stays drier, cooler, and more efficient year-round.
What Proper Ventilation Does
Prevents moisture damage: Moves humid air out of the attic to reduce mold, rot, and insulation clumping.
Extends shingle life: Keeps attic temps in check, reducing premature shingle aging and warping.
Improves comfort & efficiency: Helps your HVAC work less, lowering energy bills.
Reduces winter issues: Limits ice damming by helping maintain a more even roof temperature.
Signs Your Roof May Be Under-Ventilated
Hot, stuffy attic or musty odors
Higher-than-normal energy bills
Wavy or curling shingles
Rusted nails, damp insulation, or dark staining on roof decking
Common Vent Types We Install
Ridge vents (exhaust along the peak)
Soffit vents (intake along the eaves)
Gable vents (supplemental airflow)
Powered/solar attic fans (case-by-case, when balanced with intake)
The goal is balance: adequate intake + exhaust so air moves continuously through your attic.
Our Ventilation Checkup
Inspect attic for moisture, visible daylight, and insulation coverage
Verify intake/exhaust balance and net free vent area (NFVA)
Recommend upgrades (often adding soffit intake or continuous ridge vent)
Provide a clear, written estimate
