Proper ventilation is essential for a roof to perform as long as it’s supposed to be. Without sufficient ventilation, an attic can overheat the shingles and cause premature cracking and burnout. In the winter, a properly vented roof will not create moisture or mold that can otherwise occur. Manufacturer's warranties are void if a roof is not installed with the proper amount of intake and exhaust ventilation.

Here is an example of one way to vent a roof using low profile eyebrow vents that are pre-painted for lasting color. These engineered vents are part of the Owens Corning system that will qualify a new roof for a 50-year non-prorated warranty when installed by an Owens Corning preferred contractor. Shown here is an Owens Corning Teak Duration TruDefinition composition shingle.

At Elite Roofing, we use large based flashings and vents for greater protection against high water flow. All flashings are painted to a corresponding roof color. 

All flashings are replaced and painted. 

This is an example of a ridge vent. A ridge vent allows for a ventilation system that spans the entire ridge area. After the ridge vent is installed, a high-profile ridge is installed over the ridge vent. This Owens Corning ridged ridge vent is also part of the Owens Corning system and is another component that can be used to qualify a roof for a 50-year non-prorated material warranty. Shown above is an Owens Corning TruDefinition Desert Tan composition roof.

Improper installation of tile and underlayment can lead to underlayment deterioration and dry rot. 

It is important to have tile roofs inspected and properly maintained to maximize their effectiveness and minimize problems due to debris build-up and breakage. 

Once the underlayment on a tile roof has been breached, a "patch" is not sufficient and the leak is likely to reappear. It is important to remove and replace all of the underlayment that has been affected. At Elite Roofing, we use only upgraded fiberglass reinforced underlayment for optimum life and performance.

Older tile valleys allow the tile to set directly on the metal creating a damning effect. This is compounded when debris builds up underneath the valley tile. Redwood bats, which the tile set on, also will catch water, divert sideways instead of allowing it to flow down to the gutter. 

We use only upgraded wider 5 V raised valley metal that will raise the tile off of the valley and allow for great water flow. We also use engineered plastic pass through bats that allow water to flow through if a water diversion should occur which is very unlikely with the upgraded valley metal. Underneath, we use upgraded fiberglass reinforced and rubberized underlayment.
