We’ve also thought about adding insulation above the garage to help. I’ve seen the thermal roof barrier too. Does that “cook” the roof shingles by redirecting the heat back into the shingles?
The Solar Guys put a exhaust fan in our garage ceiling and vented our garage doors; it’s big enough that it pushes the hot air out of the attic through the eaves and the existing vents in the roof.
