Hey, hopefully somebody here can give me some insight. We live in South Florida and just had our roof replaced. We discussed wanting vents to be placed. My understanding is that vents help cool the attic down thus keeping the house cooler.

The roof is complete and no vents were added. The company’s representative is trying to tell us that our roof didn’t have vents when it was originally built. He said they leave space for water to leak in during hurricanes. I tried to ask him what standard practice is because I feel like it shouldn’t matter if there were no events before if the current standard is to put vents in the into roof.
