I know c.c. Chimney sweep does it. I used them to clean my dryer vent (it's a vent to roof) and they gave me a brochure on all the services they do and that was one of them.

I'm looking to do the same thing. Haven't researched hard yet but I think they make solar fans that kick on when the temperature reaches a certain degrees. Attic vents just don't cut it, something needs to move the hot air out.

I think that any roofing company will do that...basically just cutting a hole, tacking the vent down, and sealing up around it...

Attic fans help a little but stapling radiant barrier to your rafters will lower the attic temp by about 20 degrees or more. I am having to re-wire an old duplex I bought last year. I can't put insulation down on the old cloth insulated wire. I installed radiant barrier in June and have been working up there when the outside temp is 100. It is not bad at all in the attic.

is this a joke about the recent commercials for a company that seemingly only installs those spinning attic vents? i thought that was a strangely specific business model, too.

I thought the same thing. This commercial is weird, I don't see how the guy does enough business installing attic vent fans to pay for a tv spot

Are you saying you actually want to cut holes in your roof?

I disagree with you on the solar vents, got a durabuild 20 watt thermostat controlled solar roof vent installed in the spring because our soffit vents were not cutting it for ventilating our attic and it made a huge difference for our house.
My electric bill is down, my ac doesn't run as much, and the attic is noticeable cooler when I have to up there.
motor has 5 year warranty, panel has 20 year warranty

why are you talking about cloth wire...... im not looking for a cloth wire install.
Help me on attic vents. 500 a piece seems way out of price for 40 or 50 dollars worth of parts.
