A damaged gable vent can let rain, birds, bats and squirrels into your attic. Dee's Roofing repairs or replaces gable vents to keep your attic ventilated and protected.
Gable vents sit high on your home's end walls, taking direct hits from wind, sun and rain. Over time, louvers crack or break, insect screens tear or rust through, and the seals and trim around the vent fail. Those openings become an easy way for rain, birds, bats, squirrels and wasps to get into your attic. Dee's Roofing provides gable vent repair for homes across the Knoxville area.
We'll repair or replace broken louvers and screens, reseal the vent, and repair the trim and siding around it. If the vent is too far gone, we'll replace it with a new unit sized correctly for your attic.
While we're up there, we'll check the attic side for signs of water or animals and let you know what we find. Dee's is family-owned, licensed and insured, with free estimates.
These are the gable vent problems we fix most often.
Cracked or missing slats that let rain blow into the attic.
Damaged screens that let insects, birds and bats inside.
Gaps around the vent frame that let water seep into the wall.
Vents chewed or pushed out by squirrels and other animals.
A broken gable vent might seem minor from the ground, but it can let wind-driven rain soak attic insulation and framing near the end wall.
Animals that get in through damaged vents can tear up insulation, chew wiring and leave behind a mess. Keeping vents screened and sealed is an easy way to prevent that.
Repairing or replacing a damaged gable vent keeps your attic ventilated while keeping weather and pests where they belong — outside.
Here's what a gable vent repair from Dee's typically includes.
Yes, if the louvers are broken or the seals have failed. Wind-driven rain can blow through and soak insulation.
Torn screens and broken louvers give birds, bats, squirrels and insects a way inside. Repairing them closes off that access.
Minor damage can often be repaired. If the vent is cracked, warped or badly deteriorated, replacement is usually the better choice.
We repair the vents and seal entry points. If animals are already inside, a wildlife professional may need to remove them first.
Yes. We'll look for signs of water damage or animal activity near the vent and let you know what we find.
