Default FYI Roof Leak

I have a house in Belvedere, (built in 2004) the roof developed a small leak. I called SCOTT SMITH Roofing and they sent a worker to look at the roof. He said that the "Ridge Vents" are the problem. When installed they were put down with nails, and some of the nails have worked their way up, probably the wind over time. With the extreme rainy weather we have been having some rain made it's way in. He said they will remove the Ridge Vents and reinstall with screws. Total estimated cost $180.00. I am posting this so people will be aware of a possible problem and solution. I got Scott Smith's Roofing number (352-867-0044) from this forum so I thought I would reciprocate a good deed by posting this info.
