My ceiling had water spots so I reached out to Next Gen, and they found the problem with a leakage in the roof connecting to the house. Anthony came and fixed it within 2 hours and was significantly better in price + quality than any of the other people we had looking at it. They will be my go-to for a while, as well as for my friends and family, and Anthony is especially kind!
Suleman Abbasi Super reliable team! I would highly recommend for any of your future projects.

Leaking vents
Roof vents are sealed into the roof with flashing, the same way chimneys and skylights are. Plastic vent covers turn brittle in the sun and crack, metal ones rust, and the seal where the vent meets the shingles wears out. Wind-driven rain can also blow into a damaged ridge vent. We replace cracked or rusted vents and reseal them properly into the roof.

Blocked vents
A vent that cannot move air does nothing. Soffit vents are often painted over, blocked by insulation blown into the attic, or clogged with dust and cobwebs. Some homes had vents covered over during an earlier roof job. We open up the blocked intake and exhaust vents, and add baffles in the attic where insulation keeps smothering the soffits.
The inspection and the quote are free
We come out, get on the roof, and tell you what we found and what it would cost to put right. There is no charge for that visit, and you are under no obligation to book the work.
Animals and pests
Vents are an easy way into a warm attic. Birds nest in them, wasps build in them, and squirrels chew through plastic covers, especially on homes near trees. We replace damaged vents and fit screens where they are needed. If animals are living in the attic, have them removed first, so they are not sealed inside.

Common questions.
Can a roof vent cause a leak?
Yes. Cracked covers, rusted metal and worn seals around vents are a common cause of small roof leaks.
My turbine vent stopped spinning. Is that a problem?
A stuck turbine still lets some air out, but a noisy or wobbling one can let rain in. It is worth having it checked or replaced.
How do I know if my soffit vents are blocked?
Look in the attic along the roof edge. If insulation is packed right into the corner, or you cannot see any daylight at the soffits, they are probably blocked.
