Soffit Vent Installation

What This Service Involves

Intake is the half of ventilation most Northwest homes are short on, and without it even a perfect ridge or fan can't draw air through the attic. Soffit vents sit low under the eaves and feed fresh air that sweeps up beneath the deck and out the exhaust, carrying damp air with it. We add continuous or individual soffit vents and, just as important, install baffles so your insulation can't slump forward and choke the new intake. On homes with solid or painted-over soffits, opening up genuine intake is often the single biggest fix for a chronically damp attic. Balanced with your exhaust, it completes the airflow loop that keeps sheathing dry.

Benefits

Supplies the intake most PNW attics are missing; completes the airflow loop so exhaust actually works; baffles keep insulation from blocking the vents; dramatically cuts attic condensation and frost; often the single most impactful ventilation fix

Our Process

1) Inspect soffits and measure existing intake against exhaust; 2) Cut and install continuous or individual soffit vents; 3) Set baffles to keep insulation clear of the intake; 4) Confirm balanced draw from soffit to exhaust

What Affects the Cost

Length of soffit to be vented; whether solid soffits must be opened up; continuous versus individual vent choice; baffle installation to protect insulation; eave access and finish matching

Best Time of Year

Adding intake before winter ensures your exhaust can flush the season's moisture instead of stalling out.
