Roof Ventilation Calculator: How to Find the Right Balance for Your Home

Roof Ventilation Calculator: How to Find the Right Balance for Your Home Why Roof Ventilation Matters Proper roof ventilation is one of the most overlooked yet essential elements of a durable roofing system. Without sufficient airflow, heat and moisture build up in the attic, driving up energy bills and leading to warped decking, mold growth, and premature shingle failure.

For many Texans, that difference can mean thousands of dollars out of pocket. In recent years, more carriers have quietly shifted to ACV-only roof coverage, particularly for older roofs or homes in high-risk hail zones. Without realizing it, homeowners who once had full replacement protection ...
