Attic Ventilation in Birmingham, AL
Ventilation is a system, not a product. Adding a ridge vent while the soffits are painted shut does not move air, it just adds a hole. Intake at the eaves and exhaust at the ridge have to be balanced or neither works.
We measure what you have, work out what the attic area needs, and price the difference.

Intake and exhaust are two halves of one system. These are the pieces we price.
Roof Life
A poorly vented attic cooks the deck and the underside of the shingles through an Alabama summer. That shortens the life of a roof you paid for, from the side nobody inspects.
Getting airflow right is cheap next to a roof, and it is the part most often left out when one is replaced.
Moisture
Dark staining on the underside of the deck usually means moist air is sitting up there. Often the cause is a bath fan ducted into the attic instead of through the roof or wall.
We look for the source rather than adding vents and hoping, because unresolved moisture eventually shows up as mould or a soft deck.
Bills
Insulation and ventilation are usually sold separately and depend on each other. Blocked eave vents behind new insulation is one of the most common faults we find in Birmingham attics.
We check both together, because fixing one and breaking the other is a poor result.
Home Value
Inadequate ventilation, staining on the deck and bath fans venting into the attic all end up in inspection reports, and every item on that list becomes a negotiating point.
Sorted and documented beforehand, they are simply not on the report.
