Venting a Garage Roof

juice4392 asks,

Is it necessary to add venting to a garage roof? I thought venting was mainly for attics, but want to make sure. If so, what is the average vent to sq ft ratio?

Our Answer

It’s not necessary to vent a garage roof, unless the garage is insulated. That said, you might find it a more comfortable place to work in during summer if you add a roof vent. Specifically, I’d suggest a ridge vent.
