Sue has just installed additional roof ventilation and an attic fan to reduce summer heat build-up in her own home. This should help to reduce the temperature in the attic, thereby reducing the cooling cost of the house, and extending the life of the roof by many years. The work was performed by Mark Mallicoat at Lafayette Roofing. They can be reached at 925-283-3070 or by email at

They have offered to do a free roof inspection ($125 value) if they install the attic fan. Please be sure to mention that you found out about this through The Olsen Team. |
