Have a standard 1970's 2 story. Previoous owener installed new roof but were too cheap to have previous 2 roofs taken off. In summer, our basement temp is perfect, first floor a little warmer, second floor noticeably warmer. Im presuming having 3 layers of roofing is just sealing in the attic heat.
Plenty of insulation and soffit venting. Having just put on siding, we arent not financially in a position to put on a new roof - a cost Im sure would be more than normal with removal of 3 layers and associated subsurface repair. Besides, the top layer is fairly new and looks nice.
Wondering if forced ventilationfan would be a potential solution, and if so, wondering:
1) would roof installed temp controlled fan be best method or second floor ceiling type fan to draw cool air from lower floors up? We have no flat verical eave walls. 2) who best to install - roofer or general contractor? 3) anyone who has had this done guesstimate cost - are we walking hundered or thousands.Many thanks! Todd
