HOME REPAIRS AND HOW TO

I would definitely go with soffit vents. Be sure to put screen over them to keep beesties out.

Another potential cause is water backing up under the shingles and leaking down behind the verticle peice of wood. An ice dam can cause this but so can a gutter fulll of ice. Gutter fills with water, freezes, expands (pushing shingles up and over), then water melts leaking behind shingles - its just another possibility.

You need to determine if they are rotten on the bottom or the top. Big difference depending...
