Ask the Experts!

How do we cool off the attic in a finished upstairs bedroom? We have a ridge vent and vents at both ends of the house and under the eves, they are not one long strip but individual vents and we installed other attic vents on one side, which helped a little. We have no shade on most of the roof and no place to plant any trees. The neighbors had trees but cut them down and now we can really feel the difference in the summer. We need to gut that room and would like to know what to do with the storage space. There is insulation on the floor and the knee walls.
Find out the answer on our website….

We need more attic ventilation, can you help us to figure out what type etc. mold (black, in color) is showing up on the underside of the roof sheating / what do we need to do once mold is treated? the house is a two story colonial built in 1994, attic square footage is 875feet, house is about 35 feet long and 25 feet wide with soffit vents 2″ wide x full length of soffit as well as a ridge vent full length of house, fiberglass mesh type under asphalt shingles/ no gable end venting?
Do we add a power vent or just gable end vents and what size?
