Gable vents help hot, moist air escape your attic through the end walls of your home. Dee's Roofing installs gable vents as part of a balanced ventilation plan.
Gable vents are the louvered vents you see near the peak on the end walls of many homes. They let air move through the attic, carrying out summer heat and the moisture that rises from the house below. On homes with limited roof ventilation, adding or upgrading gable vents can make a real difference in attic temperature and moisture levels.
Ventilation is about balance, and that's where experience matters. Gable vents need to work with your soffit intake and any ridge or roof vents, not against them. Mixing exhaust types the wrong way can short-circuit airflow and leave parts of the attic stagnant. Darrell looks at the whole picture before recommending where and whether gable vents belong.
We install gable vents sized for your attic, sealed and trimmed to keep out rain, insects and animals. Dee's is family-owned, licensed and insured, headquartered in Powell.
When they're part of a balanced system, gable vents help in several ways.
Let hot summer air escape so your attic and upper floors stay cooler.
Help remove humid air that can condense and cause mold.
A cooler, drier attic helps shingles and decking last longer.
Installed with screens and seals to keep insects and animals out.
Hot upstairs rooms, high summer cooling bills, a musty attic, and frost or dampness on the underside of the decking in winter can all point to inadequate ventilation.
Gable vents are one tool for fixing that, especially on older homes without ridge vents. On other homes, ridge and soffit vents may be the better answer.
We'll evaluate your attic and give you an honest recommendation for the right ventilation approach.
Here's what a gable vent installation from Dee's includes.
A gable vent is a louvered vent installed on the end wall of a home near the roof peak, letting air flow into and out of the attic.
Not always. Combining them can disrupt airflow in some attics. We'll evaluate your attic and recommend the best setup.
Better attic ventilation can help keep upstairs rooms cooler and reduce how hard your air conditioner works in summer.
Properly installed gable vents with louvers and sealing are designed to keep rain out under normal conditions.
Yes. We install the vent and finish the siding and trim around it.
