Q: How important is ventilation on my roof? How do I know if my roof is getting the proper ventilation it needs?

A: Roof ventilation is a very important aspect on your roof. Without the proper ventilation, your rooftop cannot get the proper air movement throughout the roof area. Throughout time, your shingles can become curled and distorted and also your roof sheathing can begin to warp and decay which will create leaks. Generally, for every 300 square ft. of roof area, there should be a vent installed to maintain proper air flow in your attic.
