Roof Rangers addresses your Ventilation and Insulation Issues
When a home or commercial structure allows too much warm air to fill attic space, it causes the snow on the roof to melt and run down the roof slope to create dangerous ice dams. Compromised heating ducts or old, inefficient insulation contribute to the problem of heat escaping into areas just beneath your roof.
Where Heat Escapes, Roof Rangers Stops It Cold!
Over time, insulation degrades, collapses, and stops performing at full efficiency. The addition of more insulation on the floor of the attic will keep heat out of attic spaces and in your living space where it belongs, creating a much more energy-efficient home which is less costly to keep at a cozy temperature.
Chimneys are yet another spot for potential heat loss. If there are any gaps between the house frame and chimney, Roof Rangers addresses the situation by installing L-shaped flashing made of steel. Then we secure it further with uninterrupted fire-stop sealant.

Recessed Lighting. Is there a Better Way?
Does your home or commercial property have recessed lighting? If so, it very well might be allowing heat to dissipate into the attic and contribute to roof problems such as ice dam formation. Older types of recessed lighting are rarely properly insulated because builders and electricians deliberately avoid piling insulation over the base of the fixture due to fire risk. Roof Rangers can update old, inefficient ceiling lighting that is letting heat escape into your attic by using contact-rated insulation which can safely come into direct contact with the topside of recessed lighting . Updating your recessed lighting, from bulbs to better insulation methods creates a win-win – keeping your roofing system free of ice dams and lowering your utility bills significantly!
