Concord Roof Pros provides professional attic & roof ventilation in Concord, CA for residential and commercial properties across central and east Contra Costa County. Ventilation is the cheapest thing on a roof and the most often done backwards. The usual mistake is adding exhaust. More ridge vent, another turbine, a powered fan. Almost every badly ventilated attic in Concord already has plenty of exhaust and nowhere near enough intake.
An attic vents by moving air, which needs a low entry and a high exit. If exhaust exceeds intake the vent still pulls, but from wherever it can, which is the house: can lights, the attic hatch, top plates. Now you are exhausting conditioned air in July, and on a damp night you are dragging humid air past cold surfaces where it can condense. That is how a roof gets blamed for a problem it did not cause.
The arithmetic is standard. Total net free vent area of one square foot per 150 square feet of attic floor, or one per 300 with a proper ceiling vapor retarder, split roughly half at the eaves and half high. Net free area, not the size of the hole, because a screened vent delivers a fraction of its dimensions. We measure the attic, add the vents up, and show you the number rather than eyeballing it from the driveway.
Intake is usually where the work is. Soffit vents blocked by insulation get baffles at every rafter bay. Houses with no soffit at all, common on the older cottages around downtown, take a low-profile eave or over-fascia intake instead. Then exhaust gets sorted out: a continuous ridge vent with an external baffle beats a scattered row of box vents, and gable vents that short-circuit a new ridge vent get closed off.
We generally recommend removing powered attic fans rather than replacing them. They depressurize the attic, pull cooled air out of the living space through every ceiling gap, and spend electricity doing it. A balanced passive system moves comparable air on the days that actually matter, and it does not have a motor to fail in August or a breaker to trip in the meantime.
One local requirement sits on top of all of this. In the very high fire hazard severity zones along the Mount Diablo foothills, vents have to resist ember intrusion, so those addresses get listed ember-resistant vents rather than ordinary screened units, and we will not substitute quietly to save a line item.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — Class A fire-rated shingle assemblies, SBS-modified bitumen cap sheet, ASTM C920 high-movement joint sealant, floating expansion clips on standing seam, 24-gauge Galvalume panel, reglet-cut counterflashing — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Concord and nearby communities including Pleasant Hill, Martinez, Walnut Creek, Clayton.

Materials, equipment and how we do attic & roof ventilation
The difference between attic & roof ventilation that lasts and attic & roof ventilation that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with Class A fire-rated shingle assemblies, SBS-modified bitumen cap sheet, ASTM C920 high-movement joint sealant, floating expansion clips on standing seam, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Concord job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in central and east Contra Costa County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Concord Chooses Concord Roof Pros
- ✓Estimates come from on the roof and in the attic, never from the driveway or from a satellite measurement alone.
- ✓We specify high-movement joint sealant and reglet-cut counterflashing, because asphalt mastic does not survive a daily temperature swing.
- ✓Long metal runs get floating clips and concealed fasteners, so panels can move without wallowing out several hundred screw holes.
- ✓Tile roofs get quoted as a lift-and-relay first, since the underlayment is what expired and the tile itself usually has decades left.
