Temperature and Moisture Control in Mid-Century Homes

from Mid Mod Remodel · host Della Hansmann | Mid Mod Midwest

Temperature and moisture control in mid-century houses is one of those topics that seems less exciting and relevant until suddenly…it is. And while our mid-century houses have the potential be properly snug without being too sealed up. They also sometimes need a tune up. Plus a number of trendy, seemingly “esthetic” changes to your house - siding, soffit, or roof changes - can create problems that didn't exist before.
