in Hemet
Hemet gets hot. Not just Inland Empire hot, Hemet hot. Summer after summer in the San Jacinto Valley bakes a roof from the outside, and on a lot of Hemet homes we look at, something is baking it from the inside too.
Here is a pattern we keep seeing on Hemet houses: no soffit vents. No intake ventilation at the eaves at all. We honestly do not know why so many homes out here were built that way, but the result is the same every time. The attic has no way to pull in cooler air, the heat has nowhere to go, and the shingles cook from both sides. They dry out, go brittle, and shed their granules years before they should.
That is why you see so many shiny roofs around Hemet. When shingles wear down to the fiberglass mat underneath, they turn glossy in the sun. A shiny roof is not a clean roof. It is a roof with its armor gone. It usually holds through one more rainy season and then fails all at once, with leaks showing up in multiple rooms in the same storm. We have seen that story too many times out here: one winter fine, the next winter a tragedy.
So when we replace a roof in Hemet, ventilation is part of the job, not an upsell. Intake plus exhaust, sized to the attic: low-profile O’Hagin vents, and on Owens Corning shingle systems a VentSure ridge vent with DecoRidge caps. A roof that can breathe lasts longer in this valley, period.
