Save On Attic Ventilation Today!
How would you rate your attic ventilation in Baltimore, Columbia, Ellicott City, Silver Spring, Maryland, or DC? Do you have an attic fan?
"Why should I care about ventilation in the attic?" you may wonder.
It's not like you spend any time up there, right?
Well, if you think your attic is just for storage you've got another thing coming!
Have you ever noticed that when you go from the 1st floor to the 2nd, the difference in the temperature is like night and day?
The reason for this is because your attic or crawl space basically has no ventilation.
This causes your attic to become like an oven -- baking the shingles inside-out and causing your roof to age prematurely.

Proper ventilation for your attic is far more important than most homeowners realize --
-- Especially in Maryland and DC where we get hot summers and cold winters.
Attic ventilation is a critical part of your home's heating and cooling, (having an attic fan is a great start) and it's even more than that.
Ever step into your attic to find something in the summer and get blown away by blustery heat?
That heat is making it more expensive to cool your whole house!
But proper attic ventilation is more than that.
Not only can it keep your home cooler in the summer, it can prevent ice dams in the winter.
What Are Ice Dams?
Ice dams happen when snow builds up on the roof and warm air from the attic melts some of it from underneath.
It then refreezes at the bottom of the roof just above your gutters.
This can prevent the rest of the melting snow from being able to properly drain into your gutters and off the roof --
-- Potentially causing serious damage to walls, ceilings, and insulation.
It can be a real disaster!
Your energy bills and comfort level depend on you having proper attic ventilation.
How Do You Ventilate An Attic?
Well, "gable end vents," the vents you can usually see on each side of the house, and basic attic ventilators (or "attic fans") may not be enough to keep air flowing properly.
That's why smart homeowners have a professional take a look.
Often, it's as easy as installing some "soffit vents" and "continuous ridge vents" and adjusting some of the insulation.
This isn't really a do-it-yourself type of job, we highly recommend getting a professional in there to take a look (unless you have experience with roofs, attics, and ventilation - AND have the right tools for the job).
