@level_up_improvement This roof failed years too early — and the reason is hiding at the ridge and upper slope. It had two different types of attic exhaust: ridge vents and can (box) vents. When you mix ventilation systems like this, the ridge vent often pulls air in through the can vents, instead of pulling it from the soffits. This creates a short-circuited airflow loop, leading to: • Trapped attic heat • Wintertime ice dams • Summer shingle baking • Increased moisture and condensation If your roof has both systems, it’s not ventilating correctly — and your shingles could be deteriorating right now.

Mixing Ventilation Systems: Why It’s a Recipe for Roof Disasters
Mixing Ventilation Systems: Why It Can Lead to Serious Roof Problems Attic ventilation is one of the most important aspects of a healthy, efficient home. Many homeowners underestimate its impact, focusing on shingles, siding, or insulation, while overlooking how...@level_up_improvement n this video, we’re removing faux brick siding from a bungalow in Royal Oak, MI — and exposing why it’s often a bad long-term choice. Faux brick may look okay at first, but it traps moisture, cracks easily, and fails over time — especially in Michigan’s freeze-thaw climate. This is the same home we later upgraded with Mastic Harvest Blue siding and Versetta Stone accents, but this short focuses on the removal of a failing product that homeowners should think twice about. 📍 Royal Oak, MI 📞 Level Up Improvement | 313-287-9525 🌐 www.levelupimprovement.com FauxBrickFail RoyalOakMI SidingReplacement SidingProblems MichiganContractor HomeExterior SidingDemo LevelUpImprovement HarvestBlue
