Default Suggestions for working on Roof - fixing issues

I had an inspection completed on a house I am planning on buying
2001 new roof was done - not 100% correct
There is slight mold forming near the ends of the house.

The problems
The ridge vent has black paper covering 75%
* * * * (I need to climb up and cut this out I guess)
The bathroom vent goes direct into the attic

The roof has the ridge vent and sofit vents.
Should I add gable vents on the edges of the house?

Since the bathroom is large with a tub and shower and will be the most
used, I want to add a higher end remote fan type installation vented
through the roof. *How hard is it to poke through the roof and make sure
the shingles and sealing are ok? *Is this a DIY job?


Answers to your questions......

Should I add gable vents on the edges of the house? (I assume you
meant "ends") ....... No unless you really insist.

How hard is it to poke through the roof and make sure the shingles and
sealing are ok? Not hard.

Is this a DIY job? For me, yes. Hard to tell about you......(from
your writing you seem pretty green on house repair issues & DIY house
fixes)

I'd venture a "No" wrt to you DIY'ing the "poke through the roof"
successfully.
