Homeowner needs reliable roof ventilation advice after roofer removed existing ventilation and failed to install specified ridge vents, leaving no functional ventilation and requiring a remediation plan.
No trustworthy source or tool exists to guide homeowners through post-roofing ventilation remediation, especially for non-standard roof designs like gambrel roofs with party walls.
Workarounds Described
- homeowner researched ventilation on their own using online forums and general guides
- homeowner relied on roofer's verbal assurances without verifying contract compliance
Implied Software Gaps
- a software tool that simulates roof ventilation requirements for non-standard roof shapes and provides specific remediation steps
- a contract management feature that alerts homeowners when work deviates from specs
