Lower Energy Bills and Protect Your Roof

Lower Energy Bills and Protect Your Roof

Proper attic insulation and ventilation are critical to home comfort, energy efficiency, and roof longevity. Without adequate insulation, you're losing heated and cooled air and money. Right Roofing & Siding delivers professional insulation upgrades and ventilation solutions that reduce utility costs, prevent ice dams, and extend your roof's lifespan.

Roof It Once. Roof It Right.

PROFESSIONAL SIDING SERVICES

Attic Insulation Upgrades

Inadequate insulation allows significant energy loss through your roof—one of your home's most exposed surfaces. Upgrading attic insulation creates a thermal barrier that keeps your home comfortable year-round while dramatically reducing heating and cooling costs.

Benefits of Proper Insulation:

  • Lower monthly utility bills

  • More consistent indoor temperatures

  • Reduced HVAC system strain

  • Extended roof lifespan

  • Prevention of ice dams and moisture damage

Thermal Energy Inspections

Identify exactly where your home is losing energy with advanced thermal imaging technology. Our comprehensive inspection ($195) pinpoints insulation deficiencies, air leaks, and problem areas invisible to the naked eye.

  • Complete thermal imaging assessment

  • Detailed report of findings

  • Recommendations for improvements

  • Energy loss quantification

Professional Ventilation Solutions

Attic Ventilation Systems

Proper ventilation works hand-in-hand with insulation to regulate attic temperatures, prevent moisture buildup, and protect your roof structure. Poor ventilation causes condensation, mold growth, wood rot, and premature roof failure.

Ventilation Services

  • Ridge vent installation

  • Soffit vent installation and repair

  • Vent baffle installation

  • Exhaust fan venting (bathroom, dryer)

  • Attic fan systems

Proper Exhaust Venting

Bathroom and dryer vents must exhaust outside—not into your attic. Improperly vented moisture causes condensation, water stains on ceilings, mold growth, and structural damage. We assess and correct ventilation issues to protect your home.

Prevent Ice Dams and Roof Damage

How Ice Dams Form

Ice dams occur when warm attic air melts snow on your roof, which then refreezes at the colder eaves. This ice buildup traps water under shingles, causing leaks, water damage, and roof deterioration, common and costly problems during Iowa winters.

The Solution: Insulation + Ventilation

Maintaining consistent attic temperatures through proper insulation and ventilation prevents the heat loss that creates ice dams. This protects your roof, prevents interior water damage, and eliminates expensive emergency repairs.

SIDING MATERIALS WE INSTALL

Extend Your Roof's Lifespan

Temperature fluctuations cause roofing materials and wood structures to expand and contract, leading to premature wear and damage. Proper attic insulation and ventilation stabilize temperatures, reducing thermal stress on your roof system and extending its service life by years.

Additional Protection

  • Prevents shingle deterioration

  • Reduces wood warping and cracking

  • Minimizes moisture-related damage

  • Protects roof decking integrity

Rebates & Savings Opportunities

Energy-efficient insulation upgrades may qualify for rebates through MidAmerican Energy and other utility programs. These incentives help offset installation costs while delivering immediate energy savings.

We'll help you identify available rebates to maximize your investment and accelerate your return through lower utility bills.

"We were having issues with moisture and condensation in our attic space and water marks on our ceiling. Nick came out promptly and diagnosed the problem and gave us recommendations to remedy the issues, which were related to inadequate vent baffles and ridge vents and not enough insulation. The repairs were done quickly, took care of our issues and even dropped our energy bills. They will be the only team I call if I need any other services. Big thanks to Nick and his team at Right Roofing!"
