In this video, Erik Mattsson of Mattsson Roofing discusses the installation of fully vented soffits and a ridge vent to enhance attic ventilation. He explains the process of replacing existing soffits with fully vented ones to allow fresh air intake into the attic.

To ensure proper air exhaust, he details the installation of a ridge vent at the roof's peak, which involves cutting a 3-inch gap along the ridge. This gap is then covered with the Atlas TruRidge™ All-Weather Exhaust Vent, a durable 4-foot reinforced plastic vent that allows hot air to escape while preventing rain, snow, and insects from entering.

Ridge cap shingles are installed over the vent to blend seamlessly with the roof. Erik emphasizes that balanced ventilation—equal parts intake and exhaust—helps prevent issues like condensation, mold, and premature roof aging, ultimately extending the roof's lifespan and improving energy efficiency.
