Balanced airflow from the eaves to the ridge, so the roof deck stays dry and cooler and your insulation can do its job.
A vented attic works like a chimney: cool air enters at the soffits, warms as it moves up the underside of the roof and exits at the ridge or high vents. That flow carries away summer heat and winter moisture. When it is blocked by insulation or by missing vents, the roof deck can trap damp air and age early.
We check the intake and exhaust, measure how much opening you really have, and bring them into balance. Rafter baffles hold insulation back from the soffit so air can flow, and new ridge or soffit vents go in where the attic is short on opening.
More exhaust than intake can pull conditioned air from the house. We aim for a balanced system and avoid mixing different types of exhaust vents on the same roof.
A baffle is a thin channel at each rafter bay that keeps insulation away from the soffit. Without baffles, new loose-fill often blocks the very vents that keep the roof healthy.
Moist air should leave the house, not end up in the attic. We check that fans are ducted to the outside with insulated, sealed duct, which prevents frost and stains on the roof deck.
Some roofs are designed without vents, as with spray-foamed roof decks. We explain which approach fits yours before we change anything.

We walk the attic, walls, crawl space and equipment, measure depths and use thermal imaging when it helps.
We protect the house, seal air leaks, place baffles and fix small problems so the insulation can do its job.
Loose-fill, batts, foam or board goes in to the planned depth, with clean edges and clear markers.
We measure the result, take photos and test air leakage when the scope includes it.
We walk the finished work with you, answer questions and leave the site clean.
Not always, but baffles are almost always needed. We check the existing openings and add vents only where the attic is short.
A continuous ridge vent paired with open soffits gives smooth, even airflow. Box vents work, but mixing styles can short-circuit the system.
It helps the attic shed heat and protects the roof. The largest comfort gains still come from air sealing and insulation.
It can help, but we also look for the source, such as a bath fan venting into the attic or air leaks from the house.
Yes. Paint, old insulation and missing baffles block soffits in many homes, and clearing them is a quick, high-value fix.
