O’Hagin

So, what sets O’Hagin apart, driving its success and earning the trust of the largest home builders in the U.S. for ventilation solutions?

David Mutter, O’Hagin’s president, explains, “The O’Hagin team listens to customers and collaborates with experts to design technologically advanced products that drive safety, style and cost effectiveness. We’re proud that our data-driven approach blends product design, consumer service and economics into a well-rounded, customer-centric solution.”

This balanced approach is the cornerstone of O’Hagin’s success, reinforcing its customer-centricity and solidifying its leadership in the industry.

Durability, Innovation and Unmatched Testing

The first among O’Hagin’s foundational pillars is its productfocused ethos. The company’s pipeline features vents designed to integrate seamlessly with all types of roofing materials, including tile, shingle and metal.

For clay and concrete tile roofs, its two-piece system stands out with its wind resistance, ease of installation and eco-friendly design, free of toxic lead or plastic. The product utilizes a button-lock process that minimizes oxidation risks and ensures longevity. For composition roofs, O’Hagin’s low-profile vents seamlessly merge form and function, enhancing airflow without compromising aesthetic integrity. Crafted from premium materials like galvanized steel, aluminum or copper, the company’s products are designed to endure harsh conditions, further enhanced by pre-painted finishes that integrate effortlessly with roof colors. Additionally, their groundbreaking Climate-Resistant Series for shingles and standing seam metal roofs showcases the advanced fire risk mitigation and water intrusion protection that separates O’Hagin from other manufacturers.

Quality is emphasized in all O’Hagin products. The company only uses durable, non-combustible materials like galvanized steel, aluminum or copper to ensure a proper long-term solution that resists flames and embers. More importantly, O’Hagin’s stringent testing standards ensure functionality even under extreme conditions. O’Hagin is one of the only companies (if not the only company) to test products for wind-driven rain resistance up to 140 miles per hour, surpassing the industry standard of 110 miles per hour. The test simulates hurricane conditions, ensuring O’Hagin vents protect homes against rain infiltration even in extreme conditions. Moreover, the company is widely recognized as the industry leader in fire and ember testing, reinforcing its unparalleled testing record.

The product portfolio reflects its extensive real-world experience gained from installing millions of units worldwide and a commitment to innovation, demonstrated by dozens of patents and over 900 ventilation solution offerings.

Support Beyond Products

“Great products achieve their full potential only when complemented by exceptional service.”

O’Hagin takes this adage to heart and focuses keenly on the service side of its business, the second foundational pillar of its operation. Educational offerings, customer support and hands-on training complement O’Hagin’s solutions by providing value that goes beyond products.

The company addresses the needs of architects, builders and contractors through comprehensive training from O’Hagin University, its knowledge-building program. The course features four modules designed to educate professionals about the importance of attic ventilation and its benefits, providing the practical tools necessary to design/install a world-class system. Additionally, O’Hagin offers a continuing education program for architects, with 1.5 hours of continuing education credits, approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA).

On the support side, the company offers comprehensive support to its clients, including Pre-Construction services. A dedicated team of specialists thoroughly reviews project-specific drawings, satellite images and other relevant documents provided by builders and design teams to provide innovative, practical, cost-saving advice. Leveraging advanced software and methodologies, O’Hagin calculates the precise number and the ideal placement of vents to create a balanced system. This valuable service is provided to clients at no cost, demonstrating O’Hagin’s commitment to customer satisfaction and efficient project planning.
