I was wondering by adding a solar attic fan with a thermostat along with a ridge vents will cool the attic. Also, I have been reading about metal roofing vs shingles, which ones is the best? Thanks, Jose

The fan could help but you must have intake vents to bring air in. Also, you need to think about airflow in the attic and trying to get as complete of air exchanges as possible. A great source of info on venting is at www.airvent.com As far as metal vs standard roofing ... as the Metal Roofing Alliance, we believe metal offers great benefits and the best long term value. Lots of info on this site to support that.
