What’s Hidden In Your Homes Vaulted Roof?

Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words: In this case, it’s saving a home from becoming a mold and rot growing factory.

Hiring a Professional Roofing Contractor may be more important to your homes livability than you may think. What goes on in the roof and attic affects the whole house, but often times it goes unnoticed until it’s too late. One of the very first steps to bidding a new roof starts in the attic, not on the roof. If the attic is not breathing and venting properly, than no rush putting a new roof on.
Remember, the roof protects the house from rain and snow, but it also has to protect the house from moisture inside the home, allowing it to move that moist air outside of the homes envelope. Call a Roofing Contractor when you see a leak or your roof is starting to get old: But make sure he starts his inspection in the attic.
