The way we inhabit and use our homes and other buildings has changed. Construction materials have also changed. The end result is an increased likelihood of condensation in attics as well as roof and wall assemblies. Condensation upsets owners and leads to rot, mold, and lawsuits. With more than 35 years in the metal roofing industry, residential metal roofing manufacturer and expert, Todd Miller, will tell you what you need to know in order to avoid condensation in the structures you work on, and how to differentiate yourself from the competition and sell more jobs because of your proactive stance.
