Ventilation - A Roofing Issue
By Bob W / Four Seasons Roofing and Siding
Ventilation
This is a topic that is
largely misunderstood by the Roofing
Industry. Proper ventilation is lauded by
almost everyone, and rightfully so, as a key
element in roof longevity and energy savings.
The impetus to capitalize on the issue comes,
like most things, from a drive for profit.
The least amount of labor expended and the
higher dollar contract equals profit. An
improper ventilation system, however profits
no one, especially the roofer that stakes a
reputation on it.
We always will ask
to see your attic space and we verify and
measure existing ventilation openings. We
diagnose potential problems and endeavor to
educate you, the consumer. We explain exactly
your roofs requirements and we give it to you
in writing. Occasionally a customer will have
reason to not want the ventilation work as
proposed. We do advise that roofing
warranties are worthless if proper
ventilation is not addressed. We also advise
of potential conflicts in a given system.
Contrary to how most roofing contractors
approach a given job, we do not always
advocate the use of a Ridge Vent. Ridge Vents
are a fantastic form of exhaust ventilation.
If used properly, they can do a world of
good. If used improperly, the results can be
disastrous.
We provide you with a
written ventilation recommendation based upon
government specifications. With this form and
your new roof, you have added value and
assurance that your roofing system will last
the test of time.
