Protect your home from excess heat, moisture, and mold with better ventilation.
In the Minneapolis–St. Paul area, attic ventilation is essential to a healthy, comfortable home. If your attic isn’t well ventilated, you could end up with heat buildup, moisture problems, and even mold or roof damage.
At Quarve Contracting, we evaluate and improve attic ventilation as part of your roofing project. Adding proper ventilation from the beginning helps your new roof last longer while improving energy efficiency and making your house a healthier, more comfortable place to live.
Attic Ventilation Solutions Built for Your Home
Every home is unique, and so is the way air moves through it. That’s why Quarve doesn’t install one-size-fits-all ventilation. We take a whole-home approach, evaluating your roof structure, insulation, attic layout, and existing ventilation. Then, we design a custom plan tailored to your home.
Roof Deck Intake Vents
If you don’t have any attic ventilation, roof deck intake vents are often the best option. We install them on the roof deck so fresh air can flow into the attic.
Soffit Vents
Soffit vents are the most common type of intake vent. We install them under your roof eaves, allowing fresh air into the attic.
Ridge Vents
Ridge vents are installed along the ridge of your roof. They let hot, humid air out of your attic as it rises.
Box Vents
Roof box vents are installed near the ridge of your roof, at the highest possible point. This puts them in the best position to capture and release hot, humid air from your attic.
Gabel End Vents
Installed on gable end walls, these vents help hot air escape and work well in combination with other roof vent types to support cross ventilation.
Custom Ventilation Solutions
We often solve problems that other contractors won’t touch. If another contractor has told you your ventilation problem is unsolvable, reach out to us. We’ll find a fix.
Benefits of Proper Roof & Attic Ventilation
A well-ventilated attic has benefits for your entire home. When you upgrade your attic or roof vents with Quarve Contracting, you will:
- Lower your energy bills by improving energy efficiency and reducing heat buildup.
- Improve comfort in upstairs rooms and converted attic spaces
- Prevent moisture problems that lead to mold and structural damage
- Extend the life of your insulation and roof
- Improve indoor air quality by reducing trapped humidity and pollutants
Signs Your Home Needs Better Attic Ventilation
If your home doesn't have enough ventilation, you'll soon notice the signs. Insufficient attic ventilation causes the roof, insulation, and other elements of a home to break down faster and leads to problems like:
- Musty, humid air in your house
- Visible mold and mildew
- Deteriorated insulation
- Buckled or warped roofing
