Roofing Ventilation

Ventilating your roof reduces the heat in your attic during the summer and helps remove moisture in the winter. This will keep your roof functioning longer and as a bonus, it will make your heating and cooling systems more efficient. Roof vents allow the hot air to escape from the attic, and it will typically be replaced with cooler air from intake vents. The best location for the intake is the soffit because the coolest air is going to be

But younger roofs fail too, so it is a good idea to inspect a roof at least once a year.” ~ Tom Silva, This Old House Although this little-known fact seems so very simple, few

Ten Things Every Homeowner Should Know

1. Water Shut-Off Valve Location: Know the location of the water shut-off for the whole house. Most sinks and toilets have a shut-off valve under the fixture, but knowing how to turn off the flow throughout the home is imperative if needed in an emergency. If a leak pops up, shutting off the flow will limit the amount of damage, repair costs and headaches. 2. Gas Shut-off Valve Location: Same issue as the water valve but with greater emphasis toward

Flashing Tips

Flashing is usually aluminum or galvanized steel that’s used over joints in a roof and wall construction to prevent water seeping in and causing damage.
