.... and they never vented the roof over the section of my house with the vaulted ceiling.

This warm stretch of days we've been having in the midwest I started noticing little black spots forming around the recessed lights.
Then, on the warmest day of the year the vaulted ceilings were wet with moisture and dripping.

I'm not savvy with roofs, a bunch more now though.

The roof inspector from the company came and said that they never installed a ridge vent and there's no box venting on the roof either.


Such a pain in the arse

it needs to be fixed ASAP

When he was on the roof I saw him chuckling to himself.

The decking was replaced when the put on the new roof (Jan 2024).... he said, "everywhere I step the decking is already squeaking and sagging."
I checked online and read that decking should last 20-30 years. This isn't even 20 months and it's losing it's firmness.
 
As a former roofer I can confirm venting is important

One friend of mine who's a contractor was acting like it's not important to have the ridge vent (also, no box vents either)...
So I asked him, "if there's no need for any venting... why are there soffit vents?

Sure, have it completely airtight (if that's even an option... what do I know?), but, if that's the case then why would they even have a soffit to allow air to get up inbetween the vaulted ceiling and roof?
 
Boob’s,

Because tits actually refers to the areola’s..
What do these boobs possess?

Aside from nipples... or perhaps milk?


And my undivided attention.
