In Coventry, from neighborhoods near Tiogue Lake to quieter roads and wooded lots, roofs see snow, rain, wind and warm summer afternoons. Roof ventilation is one of the quiet systems that helps your roof handle all of that.

Good roof and attic ventilation keeps air moving from low to high so heat and moisture do not get trapped. A balanced system can:

• Lower attic temperatures in the summer.
• Reduce moisture and condensation that can damage wood and insulation.
• Help prevent ice dams along the eaves in winter.
• Extend the life of shingles and roof decking.

Warning signs we often see in Coventry include extremely hot attics on warm days, musty smells, rusty nails, or frost and staining on the underside of the roof deck during cold weather.

A typical setup uses:

• Intake vents at the soffits to bring in cooler outside air.
• Exhaust vents at the ridge or high on the roof to let warm, moist air escape.

When we replace a roof in Coventry, we treat ventilation as part of the roof system, Äînot an afterthought. We check soffit openings, ridge vents and any older vents to make sure the attic can actually breathe.
