Home Ventilation in Northern Michigan

We want our homes

to be as free of drafts in the winter as possible. It makes sense to stop those drafts which make it impossible to keep your home warm in northern Michigan.

One of the hazards of a home which is made too air-tight is the potential for harmful black mold within the walls of your home. If your home is too air-tight moist air cannot escape and the condensation creates a black mold hazard.

Using an air exchanger brings in air from outdoors and “exchanges” it for the air within your home. The role of the air exchanger is to bring the outside air up to the same temperature as the air within your home.

Using the correct ventilation ducts is important for maintaining a healthy air flow within your home.

Lennerth Quality Construction is happy to work with you to analyze the air flow

within your home and to be sure you have the correct and adequate amount of ventilation ducts within your home. If you are in need of remodeling help because of a problem with black mold in northern Michigan call us today at 231-590-5919.

Northern Michigan Roof Maintenance and Monitoring

Each season causes the shingles protecting your home to expand and contract.

Your roof should only have 3 layers of shingles. Too many layers of shingles can cause underlying structural damage to your home.

Leelanau County Roof RepairThe estimated lifespan of your roofing depends on the type of shingles or roof covering. Three-tab shingles have a projected lifespan of 25 years whereas standing seam metal roofs can last almost forever!
