Dennison Exterior Solutions & Gutter Topper as roofing contractors in Stevensville Michigan had been previously hired to install Gutter Topper a few years back and also solve some overflowing gutter problems on the front of this home. We were then hired to also resolve ventilation issues while we installed a new roof.
Most homes such as this one do not have enough ridge in order to meet the requirements of proper “exhaust” ventilation. Therefore, we must add a filtered vent with an external baffle to the hips of the roof to bring us in compliance and to validate the new shingles warranty. We also had to add a few intake vents to the soffit area to bring the intake side into compliance as well.
Proper ventilation is a matter of intake typically found under the eaves and exhaust found near or at the peak of the roof. Sadly, most roofers are negligent and think they just add a ridge vent – an unbaffled one at that – and believe that they have increased the venting capabilities of the attic. However, in almost every case that just doesn’t work and sadly, most roofers either don’t care to install proper ventilation or are just outright negligent. Homeowners choose a shingle based on its warranty and then fail to receive one as proper ventilation is not installed.
At Dennison Exterior Solutions & Gutter Topper we don’t make that mistake. We inspect your attic, including the intake vents under the eaves to ensure they are open to the attic and are not blocked by insulation. We also take the necessary measurements of the attic in order to calculate the proper ventilation requirements that need to be upgraded on the intake and exhaust side of the equation. We then show in detail to all of our customers the results to prove to them what is needed and required in order to validate the new shingles warranty.
Proper ventilation reduces energy costs in the summer by lowering cooling costs. Air conditioners do not have to work as hard to keep the inside of the home cool as the heat buildup inside the attic is mitigated. This also means your refrigerator doesn’t have to work as much to stay cool inside. In the winter, warm moist air infiltrates into the attic and condenses into tiny small water droplets which falls onto the top of the insulation, which then matts it down over time and decreases the ability of the insulation to keep it warm inside the home. Your furnace then has to work that much harder to maintain comfortable temperatures. Both of these processes in the summer and winter months cause the homeowners home to consume more energy which drives up utility costs. Dennison Exterior Solutions & Gutter Topper’s installation of proper ventilation stops or mitigates this problem saving their customers money over the long run. This is in addition to the fact that their roof will last up to 20 years longer thereby saving them the cost of having to have a new roof installed twice in the same period of years.
