Question:

Neighbour had birds removed and installed ridge vent(?) Don't know if prior owner cut vents in this house prior to installation of metal soffits. Comments re: Birds vs. Roof Vent

Answer:

Whirlybirds are affective if there is wind, otherwise over time they can squeak if not lubricated. Due to the small attic space Ridge vents are only recommended if there are cathedral ceilings. The best vents on the market in my opinion are the VENMAR roof vent. They're maintenance free. Anthony Barresi at Century Roofing & General Repair Ltd. 738-1774
