Do you need to vent a garage roof?

Question

I've got a few quotes for a new garage roof which seem reasonable, but the one I was going to go with is suggesting putting in some vents while the other two aren't. Why is that?

Daniel · Answer

Yes, you absolutely need to vent a garage roof to prevent heat and moisture buildup, which causes mould, rust, and premature roof material decay, even in unheated garages; proper ventilation creates airflow to remove humidity from activities like car use, and helps regulate temperature, protecting your roof structure and making the space more usable.

The majority of garage roofs do not need ventilation as it should have an natural air flow getting in from somewhere but it's important to have ventilation to stop mould and moisture building up or when it gets too hot for heat to escape so it doesn't damage any of the other materials so it lasts longer but to give an opinion I would have to have a look at the at the Roof to know what would be best hope this helps kind regards, John

Vents won't hurt preventative especially if you have electrical appliances in there
