The appropriate roofing ventilation is important for many reasons, including extending shingle life, lowering A/C costs, and preventing ice dams and roof rot. This can be achieved through the use of roof and soffit vents, which can easily be installed by Roof Restoration Inc. There are several ways to assess your need for improved attic ventilation:

• Check to see if there is adequate ventilation of your roof and eaves. If not, your manufacturer’s shingle warranty may be compromised.

• In the winter, check to see if the eaves of your roof have thick ridges of ice on them. These are called ice dams and are caused by poor ventilation.

• Check your attic for frost or dampness during the winter.
