Though not often thought about, your homes roof is one of its most important components. It protects you as well as your home's structure from the elements. A proper roof is also a system comprised of shingles, underlayments, self-sealing membranes, venting, and flashings. We install roofing materials that are compatible with each other to ensure longevity.
One of the most critical aspects of your roofing system is ventilation. The reasons for attic ventilation are often poorly understood. When attic ventilation is done incorrectly, it can cause many problems. Potential issues include; attic condensation, rapid shingle deterioration due to high temperatures, higher energy costs for cooling in the summer, and poor indoor air quality. We have a thorough understanding of attic ventilation and how it works. We use this knowledge to install superior roofing systems in Red Deer.
