How we can help
Treat ridge ventilation as one part of airflow
A ridge vent depends on a correctly sized opening, compatible vent product, weather protection, and sufficient intake at lower attic areas. Short ridges, separated attic spaces, complex roof forms, and mechanical conditions may require another approach.
We inspect the roof and accessible attic before installing or replacing ridge ventilation that works with the rest of the roofing system.

Common questions
Questions about roof ridge vent installation
Can a ridge vent work without soffit vents?
It needs adequate intake from a suitable lower location. The exact intake method depends on the construction.
Does every ridge need a vent?
No. Roof and attic geometry determine which ridges, if any, are suitable for exhaust ventilation.
Can ridge vent be added during replacement?
Yes, when the roof and attic are suitable and there is enough intake ventilation to balance the ridge vents.
