We had our roof replaced a few years ago and the roof vent they installed doesn't have a baffle. Its a standard Airhawk. We occasionally get wind and street noise coming through the vent hood in the kitchen. I'd like to replace the roof vent with a better option. Any suggestions for who to use?

Just about any competent roofer can correct this. I would suggest finding a vent that you like yourself and providing that hardware. I say that because most roofers are going to be at the mercy of whatever the supplier has in stock. They might shop Home Depot, but again, whatever the store on University has is what they'll get. That is not always the best and likely why you have an airhawk on it now. You may also want to do a little legwork and research and see if you can see the pipe in the attic. I can't tell you how many roofs I have done where a pipe comes up short, or it's the wrong kind, or it's this or that, and when the roof is torn off, I am extremely limited in how I can deal with that. So, take a peek, or make sure your roofer can see if first so they can be totally prepared. It will save you some hassle and lead to a better, one-trip fix.

I like the more expensive ones, but the 6" gooseneck they have locally will suffice.

Go to ABC roofing on 21. Ask for grant. He will guide you in the right direction

If it is only a 5/12 or maybe a 6/12. I can do it but I cannot do a roof more than 6/12

Thank you for the info. It's a pretty steep roof. Don't want you falling!

Finding a competent roofer who wants to do a small job like this is the rub. The company that installed our roof won't return calls.

ETA - they called back. Hopefully will get it taken care of.

OK,

If you have trouble, give me a ring and I'll get it sorted with my guy.

I got a call for a repair like this from a guy in Bryan that was one of my old professors when I was a fish almost 30 years ago! HAHA....

For these I usually just do them direct with my guys.

Got a quote for $850, which includes the new gooseneck vent, underlayment, ice/water dam and new shingles in the area. Is that reasonable?

I job like that could range from $450-$1200 depending on who/what is used. I would expect $850 to be about right for a reputable roofing company. If it's a handyman, then it's high.

See if they will hook you up with a 2 year leak warranty. You won't know if you don't ask.
