Ridge (exhaust) vents are continuous — sold and measured in linear feet, rated by NFA per foot.
Soffit (intake) vents are typically individual units (like 8×16 rectangular vents) or continuous soffit strip, each rated by NFA per unit or per foot depending on the product.

> Take your attic square footage and divide by 300 — that’s your total ventilation requirement in square feet. Convert to square inches (×144), then split it 50/50 between intake and exhaust. Ridge vent is continuous, so you’ll need enough linear footage to hit your exhaust NFA target. Soffit vents are individual units, so you’ll need enough of them (or enough continuous soffit strip) to hit your intake target. Check the product’s NFA rating — don’t assume a fixed spacing.

Wondering if a roof claim will raise my rates? Here's what actually affects your premium in Colorado Springs, and how to file smart, not scared.

Just inspected a home in 80905.

From the ground, it looked completely fine.

Up close:

• Clear hail hits on multiple slopes
• Granule loss that most people would miss
• Enough damage to justify a claim

This is exactly why a lot of homeowners miss their insurance deadline.

If you’re in or near 80905, there’s a good chance you saw the same storm on July, 06, 2025.

This is pretty much how these conversations go sometimes…

Adjuster:
“We don’t pay for non-storm related damage.”

Roofer (in his head):
“This is gonna be the one…”

Reality is somewhere in the middle.

✔️ Rot / deterioration = typically not covered
✔️ But what the storm caused, exposed, or requires to fix properly matters
✔️ And documentation is everything

This is where most homeowners get stuck—and why claims get underpaid or denied.

Own or manage a property in Colorado Springs?

After a hailstorm, the biggest mistake I see isn’t damage…
it’s missing it early.

What that leads to:

• Insurance disputes later
• Tenant complaints (leaks, staining)
• Higher out-of-pocket costs

Most roofs don’t look damaged from the ground—but that doesn’t mean they’re fine.

If you manage multi-family or rentals and had recent storms in your area, I can help you:

• Identify if it’s worth a claim
• Document damage properly
• Avoid unnecessary filings

Comment your property location or message me—happy to take a look.
