Attic Venting

Having my roof redone...geesh, what a wide variety of approaches by the bidders. Some just come and want to replace the shingles. Others want to install ridge vents, others say to remove the power attic fan and cover it up, one wants to install a new power fan with a humidistat.

It is a cape cod style home with knee walls.

The bid that has me the most intrigued was this...Remove the existing power vent, install ridge vent, and install a smart vent system by DCI being my home has no soffit venting. But my house been here since 1963, and I personally have not seen ill effects of no soffit vents. It this just a marketing gimmick to drive up price?
