Great Roofing Recognized Nationally for Attic Ventilation Expertise
Great Roofing has been featured in Roofing Contractor magazine, one of the roofing industry’s leading national trade publications. The article, “Attic Ventilation Knowledge Can Be a Game Changer”, was published on October 16, 2026. It was written by Paul Scelsi, marketing communications manager at Air Vent Inc. and host of the Airing It Out with Air Vent podcast.
The feature spotlights owner John Sterba and explains how Great Roofing made proper attic ventilation a standard part of every roofing project. Sterba told the magazine that attic ventilation “has been a game changer for our company.”
What the article covers
- Finding the real cause of roof failure. Instead of blaming a bad install or a bad product, Great Roofing checks whether poor attic ventilation is shortening a roof’s life.
- Not mixing exhaust vents. Static vents, power fans and ridge vents in the same attic can work against each other. Great Roofing now designs one balanced exhaust system per attic.
- Checking intake, not just exhaust. The team inspects intake vents and, in vaulted ceilings, confirms insulation baffles keep an airflow channel open.
- Lifting one sheet of decking. Even when full decking replacement isn’t needed, the crew checks under the deck to prevent moisture, mold and mildew problems later.
- Educating homeowners. Great Roofing uses demonstrations, such as Air Vent’s smoke-house video, to show clients how balanced ventilation clears heat and moisture.
Why it matters for homeowners
Balanced attic ventilation helps a roof reach its full expected lifespan and reduces summer cooling costs by venting heat before it reaches living spaces. It also helps prevent condensation, mold and mildew in the attic.
“Being recognized by Roofing Contractor is an honor for our whole team. We do the roof right, from the shingles down to the attic, so our customers’ roofs last as long as they should.” – John Sterba, Owner, Great Roofing
