Ventilation

Ventilation is crucial to many components of your roof, and ventilation needs vary from each home. It is very important that your home have adequate intake and exhaust ventilation for your roof. Even manufacturers of roofing products communicate its importance. Many manufacturers will only offer a reduced warranty (if any warranty at all) if a house does not have proper ventilation.

You'll find that proper ventilation not only evacuates the heat out of your attic in the summer, it also removes moisture laden air in the winter. This protects the underside of your roof decking from the damaging effects of moisture in your home. Proper ventilation also lowers your risk of ice/snow damming, by balancing your attic's temperature.

Shumaker Roofing proudly offers to its customers many ventilation solutions including continous vented soffit, soffit plugs, Certainteed roof-mounted fans, and Air Vent ridge vents.
