KEEPING ICY ROOFS IN CHECK: WHAT’S YOUR GO-TO TRICK?

KEEPING ICY ROOFS IN CHECK: WHAT’S YOUR GO-TO TRICK?

You’re spot on about baffles being just one piece of the puzzle. I’ve managed a few properties where we paired baffles with added soffit vents and, in some cases, a solar-powered attic fan. The real improvement came when we addressed both intake and exhaust—just adding baffles didn’t cut it, especially in older homes with chopped-up rooflines. I’ve also noticed that if the insulation isn’t air-sealed around penetrations (like light fixtures), you still get condensation issues, no matter how much you vent. It’s a balancing act for sure.
