Jacksonville Roofer Launches New Attic Ventilation System To Benefit Area Homes

First Coast Roofing and Construction in Jacksonville, FL, recently announced that they will be offering services for the installation of a new attic ventilation system that will benefit homes in and around the Jacksonville area.

Properly ventilated roofing systems have intake and exhaust vents installed. The exhaust vents are placed in the upper area with intake vents positioned near eaves. In most areas, shingle manufacturers as well as building codes require that at least 50 percent of the area be located at the eaves. A licensed, experienced roofing company can ensure that all requirements are met, and that homeowners experience less damage and maintenance fees associated with damage resulting from the attic.

Properly designed ventilation systems can also help to significantly lower heating and cooling costs, saving homeowners a high percentage off their energy costs every year.

Contractor and owner of First Coast Roofing and Construction, Bob Roberts, outlines the benefits of a properly designed attic ventilation system. "When properly designed, attic ventilation systems can make a home more comfortable and prevent numerous roof-related problems," Roberts explains. "Since attic air can reach extreme temperatures, a properly ventilated attic will lead to easily maintained interior temperatures and lower cooling costs, which can be reduced by as much as 30%."

"The components of the roof benefit can result in increased life of the roof, because all building materials expand and contract as temperatures change. Without proper ventilation, higher attic temperatures can lead to increased expansion of the roof, sheathing and structural components."
