How do I prevent repairs?
Keep your attic cool. This will help the shingles from the heat building up under that can cause the dryness of the oil in the asphalt and to shorten their lifespan. So air must be able to circulate freely in the attic.
One of the solutions is to increase ventilation by adding turbine near the ridgeline of the roof. Turbine vents are heat driven, therefore when the turbine spins, it will release the hot air in the attic. Also turbine vents are very low maintenance and don’t need the electricity to work.
