Taylor Premium Roofing provides professional roof & attic ventilation in Taylor, MI for residential and commercial properties across Downriver Wayne County. Everything else on this site reasons back to this page. On a great many Taylor houses the attic was insulated to a modern standard while the roof kept the ventilation it was built with, and the distance between those two facts causes most of the winter damage here.
The history is public and checkable. Between 1997 and 2006 the Wayne County Airport Authority, with FAA funding, sound-insulated more than 2,400 homes in Taylor and four neighboring communities. The work added insulation to attics, fitted acoustic windows and doors, caulked the envelope tight and installed new furnaces and central air conditioning. Every one of those measures reduces air movement. None of them touched the eave.
Picture what that does at the outside wall. A 1961 gable roof has perhaps six inches of headroom between the top plate and the underside of the deck. Blow fill in until it meets the code depth for this climate zone and it reaches the sheathing at the eave and stops the air path dead, and it does so at the exact point where intake has to enter.
The code asks for a clear channel of at least one inch between insulation and deck wherever a vent runs, and for intake and exhaust roughly balanced, with half or more of the net free area low. Nothing on the outside of the house tells you whether you have that. A perforated soffit panel looks identical whether the bay behind it is open or packed solid.
So the order of operations is fixed and we do not vary it. Rake the fill back off the top plate. Fit a chute into every rafter bay, not the six you can reach from the hatch. Confirm or cut the intake slot. Only then size exhaust to what the intake can actually feed, and put a rigid dam at the eave so the fill cannot migrate back out over the plate.
So a ridge vent is not something we will sell you as an opening move, and powered attic fans are not something we fit on this stock at all. Exhaust added above a starved attic just pulls heated indoor air out through hatch gaps, light fittings and pipe collars. That is the route to frost on your sheathing in February and a March stain nobody will ever trace back to a hole in the roof.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — blown cellulose settled over the eave top plate, corrugated vent chutes fitted bay by bay, a perforated intake strip cut into the original soffit board, a rigid insulation dam holding fill back off the deck, the one-inch clear air space required above insulation, supplemental attic fill laid over original 1960s blanket — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Taylor and nearby communities including Southgate, Allen Park, Lincoln Park, Wyandotte.

Materials, equipment and how we do roof & attic ventilation
The difference between roof & attic ventilation that lasts and roof & attic ventilation that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with blown cellulose settled over the eave top plate, corrugated vent chutes fitted bay by bay, a perforated intake strip cut into the original soffit board, a rigid insulation dam holding fill back off the deck, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Taylor job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in Downriver Wayne County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Taylor Chooses Taylor Premium Roofing
- ✓We measure how deep the insulation sits over your top plate before pricing anything, because on this housing that number decides whether a new roof will stay dry.
- ✓Thousands of houses here were sound-insulated under an airport noise program that never touched the roof. We ask whether yours was one, and we scope it differently if it was.
- ✓Intake is restored before any exhaust is added. We will decline to sell a ridge vent over a buried soffit and explain why at more length than you want.
- ✓The air path is a separate priced line beside the covering, with a figure for chutes, a figure for soffit work and a figure for ridge, so you can strike any of them.
