Why Roof Ventilation Matters

Most homeowners focus on keeping their roof leak-free, but ventilation is just as important. A properly ventilated attic can significantly reduce heating and cooling costs, extend the life of your roof, and make your home more comfortable year-round.

Benefits of Proper Ventilation:

  • Prevents mold and moisture buildup
  • Reduces energy bills by lowering attic temperatures
  • Extends the life of roofing materials
  • Helps prevent winter ice dams
  • Improves indoor comfort

Types of Roof Vents We Install

We provide professional installation of high-quality attic and roof ventilation systems tailored to your home.

Ridge Vents

Installed along the roof's peak, ridge vents allow warm air to escape naturally from the attic. Covered with shingles, they blend seamlessly into your roofline while maximizing exhaust efficiency.

Soffit Vents

Located under the roof eaves, soffit vents draw cooler, fresh air into the attic. They work in tandem with ridge vents to ensure a steady air flow.

Gable-End Vents

Gable vents, mounted on the exterior walls of your attic, help increase airflow and can act as either intake or exhaust, depending on wind and temperature conditions.

Products

DCI Products has been on the cutting edge of building product innovation for over 25 years. DCI is committed to designing, developing, and manufacturing the highest quality products to provide energy efficiency, cost effectiveness, easy installation, and durability.

SmartVent

The SmartVent from DCI is a very unique product, providing a tapered, under-shingle attic ventilation system that is highly functional in any weather. Once installed, intake and exhaust occurs within the actual shingle, so it can be used mid-roof, off-wall, shed-wall, off-peak, and on eaves, dormers and valleys. If your home has no soffit overhang, then SmartVent is a perfect solution.

SmartVent can also work in conjunction with pre-existing soffit ventilation to provide optimal results. This is a versatile solution to balancing the air flow of your roof and making your home energy efficient in the long term.

Roof Ventilation FAQs Top Questions & Answers About Roof Vents in CT, MA & RI

How do I know if my attic ventilation is inadequate?

Common signs of poor roof ventilation include:

  • Excessive heat in the attic during summer
  • Ice dams forming on the roof in winter
  • Musty odors or mold growth in the attic
  • Higher-than-usual energy bills
  • Curling or damaged roof shingles

If you notice any of these issues, it's time to schedule a professional attic inspection.

Can poor ventilation really damage my roof?

Yes. Without proper airflow, moisture can accumulate in the attic, leading to:

  • Mold and mildew growth
  • Wood rot in rafters and decking
  • Premature shingle deterioration
  • Ice dam formation in winter

Proper ventilation is essential to protect your home investment. Schedule your free estimate for roof vent installation today!

What if my home doesn’t have soffits?

If your roof lacks soffit overhangs, we can install SmartVent, an under-shingle solution that provides intake ventilation without needing soffits. It’s an ideal option for older homes or unique rooflines.

How much does attic ventilation installation cost?

Costs vary based on the type of vent, roof complexity, and whether it's a new installation or retrofit. Many of our customers include ventilation upgrades during roof replacement. Contact us for a free, no-obligation estimate.

Can roof vents help lower my energy bills?

Yes, by reducing attic heat in the summer and controlling moisture year-round, a properly ventilated attic can reduce the strain on your HVAC system—leading to lower heating and cooling costs.

Is ventilation something I can install myself?

Attic ventilation should be installed by licensed professionals. Improper placement or ventilation imbalance can cause more harm than good. The professionals at Klaus Larsen Roofing ensure your system is installed to meet manufacturer guidelines and local building codes.
