Farmington Roof Pros provides professional roof ventilation in Farmington, NM for residential and commercial properties across the San Juan Basin. Ventilation advice written for a humid climate will actively hurt a Farmington house, and it gets repeated here constantly. The reason is simple. A house with an evaporative cooler runs under positive pressure all summer, and the standard balanced-attic model assumes that it does not.
A refrigerated house is a closed box, and the textbook answer applies. Continuous soffit intake, ridge exhaust, net free area figured at roughly one part in three hundred against the attic floor, and intake at least matching exhaust. Balance those two and the attic runs cooler and drier. Powered attic fans usually make it worse by pulling conditioned air up through ceiling penetrations.
An evaporatively cooled house is the opposite. The cooler pushes a large volume of moist outside air into the living space and that air has to leave somewhere, deliberately, through relief openings. An up-duct into the attic, a barometric relief damper, or simply windows cracked on the far side of the house. Without relief the cooler stalls and the rooms go clammy. Baffles at the eave matter more than the vent product, because blown insulation migrates over time.
Where it goes wrong is the combination. Add continuous ridge vent to a house that relies on an attic up-duct and the moist conditioned air you paid to cool goes straight out through the ridge, short-circuiting past the rooms. The cooling bill climbs, attic humidity climbs, and nobody connects the two things. Sizing that relief opening to the unit's rated airflow is the part almost nobody actually calculates.
So we ask what cools the house before we touch a vent. Refrigerated air gets the balanced ridge and soffit system done properly, with baffles so insulation is not blocking the intake. A swamp-cooled house gets relief sized to the unit's airflow and a ventilation scheme that does not fight against it. Turbine vents on a swamp-cooled house do the same thing and we usually recommend taking them out.
Houses in transition are the interesting case, and there are a great many of them here. If you are converting to refrigerated air, the old up-duct should be sealed and insulated and the ridge and soffit brought up to specification at the same time. Doing one without the other is where the mold calls come from. We will look at the whole assembly and tell you which half of it is currently doing the work.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — high-temperature self-adhered underlayment, lead-flanged pipe boot collars, soldered pan flashing under a cooler stand, counter-flashing let into a masonry reglet, SBS-modified bitumen cap sheet, heat-welded TPO seams — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Farmington and nearby communities including Aztec, Bloomfield, Shiprock, Crouch Mesa.

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 high-temperature self-adhered underlayment, lead-flanged pipe boot collars, soldered pan flashing under a cooler stand, counter-flashing let into a masonry reglet, 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 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 San Juan Basin means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
