Important Roofing must Knows

Get to know your roof: Two of the most important parts of the roof are the soffit and fascia.

                                                                                                        

Part of the function of the soffit is to assist in ventilating the attic. The soffit typically features a plain design with small holes that provide air circulation. The air from the soffit cycles to the vents to draw heat and moisture away from the house. This is a highly important function because moisture in the attic can develop rot in the sheathing and rafters.

The fascia is a vertical finishing edge connected to the ends of the rafters, trusses, or the area where the gutter is attached to the roof. The primary role of the fascia is to act as a layer between the edge of the roof and the outdoors, and is meant to protect the wooden board against water damage that can occur during certain weather conditions.

It's important to know the functions of these two parts, and Above All Roofing understands time is sensitive when either of these crucial aspects of a roof requires attention. Serving the Vacaville and the Solano County, let us take care of your roof for you.

Poor Attic Ventilation Can Ruin Your Insulation, Destroy Your Shingles, And Raise Your Energy Bills!

Proper attic ventilation systems allow a continual flow of outside air through the attic, protecting the efficiency of the insulation and helping to lower temperatures in the living space. Not only is poor attic ventilation a health hazard for families living in warm client zones, like Solano county, proper attic ventilation is also recommended by the U.S. FHA.

It is estimated that 9 out of 10 homes in North America do not have proper attic ventilation. Why? Because most people are unaware that attic ventilation can impact the durability of their entire home. In the summer, improper ventilation can cause attic heat to build in excess of 160°F. This highly-heated air eventually permeates the ceiling insulation into the living area below.
