We are in the process of finishing off the remaining portion of our attic. We are going to be getting rid of the attic fan to finish the cieling. The only problem is there is no attic ventilation. We plan on installing sofit vent, which will be no problem. But now we need to install ridge vents at the roof peak on the front and rear of the house. Mind you the house is about 80 years old and there has never been any other ventilation in the attic before aside from the attic fan which was installed by the previous owners. We just got a new roof installed last summer. Any idea on what it would cost to have a roofer come out and install ridge vents. It's about I would say 15 feet in the front peak and 15 feet at the rear peak. I know we should of had this done when the roof was done but we didn't think ahead. Thanks for all your help. June Oh I'm located in southern NJ.

I am getting a new roof soon and am shopping around now. My wife had one roofer come out and quote around 5 thousand. Today Home Depot came out and gave us a quote of 11 thousand. I like the Home Depot roof a real quality deal. The home Depot guy said I could get the 5 thousand dollar roof but the guy might be out of business in two years. He said they have a tail light warranty and called them tail gate Pete. I think he might be right I don't want a guy that hires day labor and is never seen again. What do you guys think? I live in a pretty upscale neighbored so it has to be good. My insurance only gave me 5 thousand for hail damage. What should I look for in a good roofer?
