FAQs

How do I know if my attic is under-ventilated?

Warning signs include hot upstairs rooms, darkened sheathing, musty smells, or winter frost on nails and roof boards.

Can you add ventilation without replacing the roof?

Yes. We can cut in ridge vents during targeted shingle work and add intake/soffit vents from the exterior where feasible.

Do powered fans pull conditioned air out of the house?

They can if the attic floor is leaky. We prioritize air sealing and balanced intake so fans exhaust attic air—not your AC.
