There were 3 of these vents at the front and 3 at the rear of the roof. There was little to no soffit vent but adequate ridge venting. The venting seemed be to be fine, I have never ran across vents installed so close to the eves.
Thanks for the input. Terrel Inspections Spencer Terrel www.terrelinspections.com spencer@terrelinspectons.com Serving SE Ohio |

I like that. If one is going to use low vents like those, I've always thought they should be installed as close to the eaves as possible.
Seems to me this arrangement would help to prevent ice damming. "not just an inspection, but an education" www.homesweethomecincinnati.com Democracy is two wolves and a lamb. Liberty is a well-armed lamb. B. Franklin |

Roofer should have used "Smart Vent" or behind the gutter intake vents. I think those used look like hell myself. Part of a roofers job is appearance. Here we go again with good & bad contractors.
