Static Vent Installation

What This Service Involves

Static vents, often called box or low-profile vents, exhaust attic air using nothing but the natural rise of warm air, so there is nothing to wire or maintain. They suit hip roofs, complex rooflines, and homes with short ridges where a full ridge vent can't provide enough exhaust length. We place them high on the roof plane and calculate how many are needed to meet your attic's net free area target. Each vent is flashed and sealed to shed our persistent rain, and we confirm soffit intake is adequate so the boxes actually draw. It's a straightforward, dependable way to keep moisture moving out of a Northwest attic.

Benefits

Passive operation with no motor or wiring to fail; ideal for hip roofs and short-ridge homes; low-profile look that stays discreet on the roof; sized in the right quantity for your attic; flashed to handle steady Northwest rainfall

Our Process

1) Calculate the number of static vents for the attic area; 2) Mark high placement points on the roof plane; 3) Cut openings and set each box vent; 4) Flash, seal, and confirm intake balance for proper draw

What Affects the Cost

Quantity of vents required for coverage; roof pitch and layout complexity; vent profile and finish selected; flashing labor per unit; any soffit intake work needed to balance the system

Best Time of Year

Dry summer and early-fall weather is best for cutting and sealing multiple roof penetrations cleanly.
