Guest guest Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 I know there was some discussion about roofing a while back but I'm interested in talking to the person that mentioned that they weren't happy with the ridge vent on their new roof. We are in the process of getting a new roof. After the two day monsoon we had last week our roof had 2 minor leaks. Both areas were completely dry in a day but we are going ahead with a new one.Only the roof it self was damp not the insulation or floor of the attic. Roofer is trying to talk us into a ridge vent. He said that without it the shingles probably won't last 30 yrs. but 23 to 25 yrs. instead. Our house was built in 1968 and my mom was the only other owner. It is a well built house and we personally knew the builder. We have never had ANY problem in the attic except once around the chimney and that was fixed years ago. Our house is a rancher with a hip roof. Attic gets hot but we have never had any problems AND most importantly I am not sick in my house. Cutting a piece of wood all across the top of the roof goes completely against everything I know. Any comments or suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks, Sue R.
