Have you ever spent hours wrapping each individual slat on a louvered vent?
How about how stiff and sore your feet are after so much time on the ladder?
Or, tell the customer you can paint the gable vent this one time?
It doesn't always go as well as you want. painting or wrapping may sound like the easy, quick way out of the job, but soon the vent will begin to rust again or the wind will find one slat cover to rip off. And then you get to go back and fix that again.
What about vented soffit? Looks pretty good? Right?
Well, you just closed off all your ventilation. Now your attic cannot breath and will begin growing mold and mildew. Also, overheating will cook your shingles from the bottom and cut your roof life in half. The manufacturers of vented soffit will even tell you this is not a use for this product.
Removing the old gable vent and installing a durable aluminum louvered gable vent can solve everything.
It will provide proper ventilation and keep the aesthetics of your home looking good.
Or, maybe, your builder did not give you a gable vent. Why should he care that your home is not properly vented? He doesn't live there.
Cutting out an entire wall area can be a real pain. Remove the siding. Cut out the OSB or plywood. These two are necessary for venting. But cutting out wall studs does not have to be required. Using a 1" or slim line gable vent can mount outside the wall. This cuts install time by 90%.
