Sometimes poor airflow can cause insulation problems to pop up again later...
Yeah, ventilation's a good shout. Had a similar issue myself—thought the roof was shot, but turned out the attic vents were blocked. Cleared those up and it made a huge difference. Did you notice any moisture buildup or mold spots?

Had a similar scenario myself—thought upgrading the roof would fix everything, but turns out the ventilation was the real culprit. I'd definitely check vents and airflow thoroughly before dropping big money on new roofing. Could save you a headache later...
"I'd definitely check vents and airflow thoroughly before dropping big money on new roofing."
Fair point, but I'd be cautious about dismissing the roof upgrade entirely. Ventilation issues can mask deeper roofing problems—like hidden leaks or worn-out materials—that aren't obvious until you dig a bit deeper. I'd recommend a thorough inspection first: check shingles for curling or granule loss, look closely at flashing around chimneys and vents, and see if there's any sagging. Sometimes ventilation is just part of the puzzle...
Good points on ventilation—often overlooked. A quick add-on:
- Check underlayment condition too, it can hide moisture issues.
- Roofing upgrades aren't just cosmetic; better materials boost energy efficiency.
- If budget allows, investing now might save headaches later...just something to consider.
- Good call on the underlayment...when we bought our place, inspector said roof was fine, but turns out the underlayment was shot. Ended up with leaks first big storm.
- Upgraded to better shingles after that mess—definitely noticed a difference in energy bills this summer.
- Felt like a splurge at first, but honestly worth it for peace of mind alone.
