Roof Ventilation
At Zhe Industries, we recognize the critical role of attic ventilation in maintaining a healthy and energy-efficient home. As an Owens Corning® Certified Energy Expert® professional, we are committed to providing superior solutions for your attic ventilation needs.
Why Roof Ventilation Matters
Proper roof ventilation is critical for maintaining a balanced temperature within your home and preventing moisture-related problems. It offers several benefits that contribute to the overall health and efficiency of your living space:
- Temperature Control: A well-ventilated attic helps keep your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter by allowing excess heat to escape and fresh air to circulate.
- Moisture Management: Proper ventilation reduces moisture buildup, preventing mold growth and wood rot, which can compromise your home's structural integrity.
- Energy Efficiency: Enhancing your attic’s ventilation improves your home's overall energy efficiency, leading to lower heating and cooling costs.
- Roof Longevity: Good ventilation prevents ice dams and reduces stress on shingles, helping to extend the life of your roof.

Home Ventilation Features

Gable Vents
Gable vents are more than just a decorative feature; they are a vital component of your home's ventilation system, impacting aesthetics and energy efficiency.

Ridge Vents
Positioned along the roof's peak, they serve as a primary exit point for hot air.

Roof Vents
Electronic power roof vents are designed to expel hot, humid air from your attic or bathroom and facilitate fresh air circulation. Unlike traditional vents, electronic power vents use a motor to drive air movement actively, providing a more efficient and controlled ventilation process.
Ensuring Your Roof is Properly Ventilated
Here are a few signs that your home may need better ventilation:
- High Temperatures: If your attic is much hotter than the outside air on warm days, ventilation might be insufficient.
- Moisture Signs: Look for damp insulation or condensation on the roof underside, indicating high moisture levels.
Determining if your attic is properly ventilated involves checking for signs like excessive heat, high moisture levels, or condensation. A professional assessment by Zhe Industries can provide insights into your attic’s ventilation needs and recommend the best solutions for your home.

Kudos to this amazing company! Their honesty and integrity is a rare find these days. I highly, highly recommend this company!
Brian, the owner, is a sincere man who genuinely cares about his work and the reputation of his company. This is a rare quality in the field. Many contractors promise the world but underdeliver. Brian and his team are different. They're not only friendly and professional, but they also hold themselves to high standards. If something isn't right, they fix it until the customer is satisfied.
Recently, I needed to replace the insulation in my attic—a challenging job, especially in the heat. I received several quotes, but Zhe Industries offered a reasonable rate and a clear explanation of the work. They delivered exactly as promised. The team efficiently removed the old insulation, sanitized the attic, sealed gaps and cracks, and installed new insulation, following all codes meticulously.
Encouraged by their performance, I trusted them with replacing my roof's missing drip edge and the gutters. We agreed on terms and they got to work. After they finished, I noticed a few minor issues. I brought these up and Brian personally addressed them immediately, apologizing for the oversight.
