Roof Ventilation in Cerritos, California

The basin heat builds up in the attic and pushes the temperature past 130 degrees on a summer afternoon. The hot air shortens the life of the shingles and drives up the cooling bills. Roof ventilation in Cerritos means the system that pulls the hot air out and keeps the roof deck cooler.

Signs Your Cerritos Home Needs Better Ventilation

• The attic is too hot to stand in — the heat is trapped and the shingles are absorbing it
• High cooling bills in the summer — the AC runs longer because the attic heat bleeds in
• The shingles are curling on the south slope — the heat built up under the shingles
• The roof deck is hot to the touch — the heat has no way out
• The attic smells stale — the air is not moving

Why Cerritos Homes Need Good Roof Ventilation

The basin heat is the main reason. The summer sun pushes the attic temperature past 130 degrees, and the heat builds up if the ventilation is not moving it out. The south slope shingles take the brunt.

The morning fog adds a second reason. The fog holds the moisture, and the ventilation dries the attic. The balanced system evens out the temperature and dries the moisture.

How We Improve Roof Ventilation in Cerritos

1. Inspect the attic — check the current vents, the temperature, and the moisture levels
2. Calculate the intake and exhaust — the system needs balanced airflow
3. Install the ridge vent — the exhaust at the peak of the roof
4. Add soffit intake vents — the fresh air comes in from the bottom
5. Balance the airflow — the intake and exhaust need to match
