Trenton row homes in Mill Hill and East Trenton often have original soffit vents blocked by paint or insulation. We pull those out and install new aluminum soffit panels with 1 inch slots. In humid summers the attic can hit 130 degrees without good flow. That cooks shingles from below and drives up cooling bills. We also add a 12 inch ridge vent made by GAF along the peak so hot air escapes fast.
Cold winters bring ice dams along the eaves in North and South Trenton. Poor ventilation lets warm air melt snow that refreezes at the edge. We fix this by cutting a clean slot for ridge venting and sealing every joint with high-temp caulk. Mercer inspectors check the vent area on any roof over 100 squares so we pull the permit same day. Cheap crews skip the slot and just slap on a cap that leaks in the first freeze.
We see plenty of flat-roof commercial buildings near the New Jersey State House that need turbine vents or powered exhaust fans. These units pull 800 cubic feet per minute and run on a simple thermostat. The work takes one day and keeps the space under 85 degrees in July. Homeowners near Cadwalader Park call us when their bathroom fans push moisture into a dead attic and mold shows up on the rafters.
Call 24/7 for emergency vent work when your attic hits 120 degrees or ice hangs off the gutters. We show up with the ridge vent material and cut the opening that afternoon.
