Attic ventilation
Roofing · Lakewood, WA

Attic ventilation in Lakewood, WA

A roof needs to breathe. Without enough air moving through the attic, moisture condenses under the deck, the wood rots and shingles age early. We balance intake and exhaust with ridge vents or box vents, usually as part of a new roof.

Signs you need it

  • Attic smells musty or feels damp
  • Frost or water drops under the roof deck in winter
  • Very hot upstairs rooms in summer
  • Dark stains on the attic wood

What we do

  • Check how the attic breathes now
  • Ridge vents along the peak
  • Box vents where a ridge vent won't work
  • Fix blocked or missing intake at the eaves
  • Done together with a new roof or on its own

In the Northwest

Our damp, mild winters make attic condensation common. Good ventilation is one of the cheapest ways to protect the wood under your roof.
