This project involved a full shingle roof replacement and the integration of solar-powered attic ventilation for a residential property in Schaumburg. The homeowner sought a durable roofing solution with added ventilation efficiency, particularly to address heat buildup during warmer months.
The original shingles, after years of dependable protection, were naturally nearing the end of their life, presenting a great opportunity for a stylish and resilient new roof.
Subtle lifting and edge wear signaled the perfect moment to reinforce the roof’s integrity and ensure long-term weather protection.
The existing passive attic ventilation offered a foundation, but enhancing it with a smart, solar-powered system promised better comfort and seasonal performance.
In addition to the roof replacement, the client sought a smarter way to cool the attic and reduce HVAC strain, ideally through a sustainable, low-maintenance upgrade.
We removed the aging asphalt shingles, evaluated and reinforced the roof decking as needed, and installed durable, architectural shingles in a neutral gray tone, providing both protection and aesthetic improvement.
To improve attic airflow, we integrated a solar-powered attic fan that operates independently of the home’s electrical system. Strategically positioned for maximum sunlight, this upgrade improves ventilation passively and efficiently.
All flashing, ridges, and valleys were sealed with precision, and the solar fan was optimized with smart angle tools to ensure year-round performance.
The new solar-powered fan increased attic ventilation, helping reduce summer heat buildup and lowering the demand on the home's cooling systems.
Better airflow and moisture control help preserve the shingle integrity, extending the roof’s lifespan.
With a clean architectural shingle finish and discreet solar components, the home now has a sharper, more updated exterior look.
