As summer heat rolls into Irvine and across Orange County, your roof is doing more than keeping out the sun—it’s playing a big role in your home's comfort and energy costs.

At Fox Roofing Company, we help homeowners stay ahead of the heat by making sure their roofs are in top condition—and built to keep things cool.

Here’s how a healthy roof helps regulate your home’s temperature—and when to get it checked before your AC bills skyrocket.

🌡️ 1. A Healthy Roof Reduces Heat Absorption

Old or damaged roofing materials can absorb and trap heat, especially if:

Shingles are cracked or balding
Tile underlayment is deteriorated
Vents are blocked or missing

Modern roofing systems (including cool-rated shingles and tile) are built to reflect sunlight instead of absorbing it—keeping attic temperatures significantly lower.

Bonus: Lower attic heat = less strain on your HVAC = lower monthly bills.

🌬️ 2. Proper Ventilation Prevents Heat Buildup

Ventilation is a game-changer when it comes to cooling. Without it, heat gets trapped in your attic, radiates down into your home, and forces your AC to work harder.

We check:

Ridge and soffit vents
Attic exhaust systems
Airflow blockages due to insulation or debris

If your roof isn’t breathing, it’s baking your home from the inside out.

🧰 3. Underlayment & Sealing Make a Huge Difference

Think of your underlayment as the insulation layer beneath your roofing materials. If it’s torn, aged, or improperly installed, heat passes through more easily—and moisture risks go up.

At Fox Roofing Company, we use high-performance synthetic underlayment and sealing techniques that add thermal protection and durability—especially on tile lift & relay jobs.

🛑 4. Small Issues Can Lead to Hot Homes

Even small roofing problems—like slipped tiles or cracked flashing—can allow hot air to infiltrate your attic, or compromise insulation and airflow.
