Farmington Hills Roof Pros provides professional roof ventilation in Farmington Hills, MI for residential and commercial properties across southwest Oakland County. Ventilation is one of the few roof questions where an attached building behaves nothing like a detached one, because in a row of units the attic over your ceiling may not stop where your walls do.
Some Michigan townhouse and ranch condominium buildings run one continuous attic the whole length of the structure, interrupted only by draftstop partitions that slow fire and do almost nothing to slow air. Others are framed solid over every party wall. A ridge vent run straight across the top behaves completely differently in those two buildings, and you cannot tell which you own from the driveway.
So we go up and look before anyone cuts a slot. In a shared attic, one household running a humidifier all winter and venting a bath fan into the cavity will deposit that moisture on the coldest sheathing in the building, which is regularly over a neighbor's bedroom. The complaint then arrives from the wrong unit and gets chased as a roof leak for two seasons.
Most of the fix is not roofing at all. Bath and dryer ducts get carried through to the outside and terminated with a damper instead of dumping into the cavity, ceiling penetrations get sealed, and partitions get closed back up where a cable or a furnace flue was run through one and never patched. Sealing the ceiling plane does more for a cold attic than any vent ever will.
Ownership then decides who funds which half. The deck, the ridge and the eave venting are nearly always the association's. The fan, the duct and the ceiling below it are nearly always yours. We split the estimate along that line so a board is not asked to buy a bathroom fan and you are not asked to buy a ridge. Two documents, two approvals, one crew, one visit.
One thing we take out rather than replace is a powered attic fan. In a leaky ceiling it pulls conditioned air up through the light cans and costs more in furnace runtime than it ever saves, and in a shared attic it can drag a neighbor's damp air across toward your sheathing. Remove it, patch the deck, spend the money on the passive path. Two seasons of chasing the wrong unit is a common and entirely avoidable expense.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — self-adhered ice barrier at the eave course, laminated architectural shingles rated to ASTM D3161 Class F, six-nail fastening pattern on every course, aluminum-wrapped pine sub-fascia, draftstopped attic partition above a party wall, cricket saddle framed behind a wide chimney — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Farmington Hills and nearby communities including Farmington, Livonia, Northville, Plymouth.

Materials, equipment and how we do roof ventilation
The difference between roof ventilation that lasts and 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 self-adhered ice barrier at the eave course, laminated architectural shingles rated to ASTM D3161 Class F, six-nail fastening pattern on every course, aluminum-wrapped pine sub-fascia, 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 Farmington Hills 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 southwest Oakland County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Farmington Hills Chooses Farmington Hills Roof Pros
- ✓We ask for the master deed and the bylaws before we measure anything, because the article listing general common elements decides who is legally allowed to buy this roof.
- ✓On a detached site condominium the home and its roof are yours, and we say so plainly instead of sending you to a board with no authority over either.
- ✓Association quotes arrive per building with a remaining-life column, so twelve roofs can be phased across three budget years rather than funded by one special assessment.
- ✓Gutters and chimneys get their own document when the deed assigns them to the co-owner and the deck to the association, because a single invoice cannot cross that line.
The standards behind roof ventilation
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The roof ventilation work we do in Farmington Hills follows published industry standards: NRCA publishes the Roofing Manual, the industry's reference for details and slope minimums, and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association sets the shingle application and ventilation guidance the warranties reference. If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
