We live in an older home that presently has no soffit vents, no gable vents, and no ridge vents. We're about to have some roofing done and am curious about a couple of things.
-We need our fascia and soffit replaced as it is starting to rot. Does anyone have a recommendation for someone local to do this work? Should we have this done in tandem with the new roof, or is it fine to do the roof first and then replace all of that later?
-As mentioned, we have no attic ventilation. Our roofer wants to install a ridge vent and a solar attic fan. I'm afraid that won't pull enough fresh air in. Wouldn't we need to have soffit vents installed as well? Our bathroom fan also exhausts directly into the attic and we're thinking of getting that to directly vent outside. Any issues there?
Thoughts and previous homeownership woes are appreciated.
