Default attic ventilation: almost no eaves

Just bought a house in New England.

The home inspector said the attic ventilation was inadequate. First, the ridge vent wasn't big enough. Second, he said there were no soffit vents.

Just eyeballing things from underneath, the eves are very, very narrow. How could soffit vents be installed if there's almost no soffit?

Also, is a roofer the best type of contractor to look at attic ventilation?

TIA,

S
