Hi, brand new. Basic DIY homeowner... Several of the homes in our neighborhood in Tennessee are built with no soffits....ours has none except for some air intake screens on part of the front dentil detail.
We are reroofing and hoped to take off the four doghouse vent gables, use a ridge vent and get air intake at the fascia area someway.
I have followed Ed the Roofer and his real world success with Smart Vent by DCI and wonder if that is the only game in town on this...the Lomanco does not appeal to me as it seems to hang over the gutter.
I recently had a reputable roofer bid the job who had never roofed a house without soffits...and was unfamiliar with the alternatives.
I have watched the install movie on Smart Vent and am curious if complete removal of all my gutters will be necessary...to my knowledge there is no drip cap now in place and it is unclear if that is necessary for Smart Vent...
Any and all opinions on this are welcome.....I will inquire and research the foam gutter filter issue separately. Thanks.
