New Braunfels Roof Pros provides professional roof ventilation in New Braunfels, TX for residential and commercial properties across the southern Hill Country. Attic heat is the quiet cost of living here. Roof surfaces reach temperatures that push heat down through the sheathing all afternoon, and the assembly either has a way to move that air out or it stores it above your ceiling until well past midnight.
Intake is where most systems fail, not exhaust. Houses get more ridge vent added after a hot summer and nothing changes, because the intake at the soffit is painted over, buried under insulation, or was never cut in behind a decorative panel. Exhaust without intake pulls conditioned air up through ceiling penetrations, which is worse than doing nothing at all. We start every ventilation conversation at the soffit for that reason.
So we measure. Net free area is calculated against attic square footage, split roughly evenly between low intake and high exhaust, and we check the soffit from inside with a light before adding anything at the ridge. Baffles are set at each rafter bay so loose-fill insulation cannot slide down and close the path again. Bath and dryer ducts get traced too, since a fan discharging into the attic undoes the whole calculation.
Metal roofs open an option shingles do not. A vented assembly over battens and counter-battens leaves an air space between panel and deck, so radiant heat leaves through that channel instead of loading the sheathing. It adds cost and it raises the roof at the eave, and on a west-facing two-story it is worth half an hour of discussion. It also raises the roof line at the eave, which matters where a gutter already exists.
Spray foam changed the rules on newer builds. A closed attic with foam at the roof line is not meant to be ventilated, and cutting a ridge vent into one is a mistake we have been called out to correct. We identify which kind of attic you own before recommending anything, because the two need opposite treatment. Ask the builder, or look for foam sprayed to the underside of the deck.
Ridge vents on panel roofs need their own hardware. A profile-matched vent with closure strips, not a shingle-over vent adapted with sealant, and enough throat area to justify the cut. Where a ridge run is short we use gable or powered options and say so, rather than pretending two feet of vent will serve a large attic. Powered vents get a humidistat rather than a thermostat alone, so they run when moisture is the problem.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — 24-gauge striated standing seam panel, PBR exposed-fastener panel, floating clips at panel mid-span, bonded EPDM washers under fastener heads, high-temperature self-adhered underlayment, butyl tape sidelap sealant — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve New Braunfels and nearby communities including Seguin, San Marcos, Kyle, Schertz.

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 24-gauge striated standing seam panel, PBR exposed-fastener panel, floating clips at panel mid-span, bonded EPDM washers under fastener heads, 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 New Braunfels 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 the southern Hill Country means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
