| Thanks for the responses. I have continuous soffit and also one gable vent. I would say of about 1900 sq ft of the part that has no ridge vent is about 250-300 sq ft. There is some restricted airflow in the attic between the unridged v. ridged area. I am quessing that there is about 55-65 feet of ridge vent. The no ridge vent area would add 10-15 feet.
I must say I read the contract wording a little different than Gunguy45, that is
"Install cap over venting ridge to roof peak as per manufacturers specifications."
whereby "cap over venting ridge" refers to the type of ventilation to be installed to the "roof peak". Any and all roof peaks.
In any event, would we agree that good construction practice would be to install the ridge vent at all peaks. When putting on a new roof, the cost 10-15 feet of ridge ventilation seems fairly marginal, so not putting it in seems foolish.
I haven't paid for this yet and if not significant I don't necessarily want to make an issue out if it is unreasonable to do so.
What would you do if you were me in this situation? I'm tending towards asking the contractor to put it in and/or possibly hold back a fair amount to get it done.  |
