I had a metal roof over done on my double wide, the contractor put 3/4 in reflect-r roll out insulation down , 1x4 stripping and put the metal roof over that due to my cathedral ceiling holding heat, but they also removed the 3 exhaust vents off the back of the house, they cut holes in the insulation and said it would vent under the metal is this the way it should of been done? It seems to be alot cooler at the ceiling inside now but im worried about it not venting or condensation from the metal dripping where the hole is in the roof. Thank you

I generally would not suggest this but is there a ridge vent on the new roof, and does the air from the previous vent holes have a clear path to exhaust through that ridge vent?
