I have had three contractors out for my roof.

existent venting.

My siding is solid on the soffits/eaves/whatever you call it. *I know
it's supposed to be the ventilated siding, but it's not.

One says $6200 for a tear off and total resheathing, new ridge/soffit
vents and 30 year shingles.

Next is $4800 for tear off, new shingles, new vents.

Third is $1400 to re-roof over the shingles. *He says he can use a saw
to cut a hole to put ridge vents in and then add soffit ones.

Is Mr. Cheapo doable?

What about my siding? *Will I have to replace that? *I can't imagine a
vent can work if the siding is solid...

Is the roof leaking, have you gone in the attic and looked. Which
doors drip exterior only? Why are not your ceilings ruined? It sounds
like condensation issues. Is roof deck rotted? Is mold growing in the
attic indication underventing? 1400 may do it but maybe you have no
leak or venting issues but are over humidifying the house, maybe you
dont need a roof.
