Kathy, you would only need 3-4 rolls of the Reflectix material, so that would be somewhere around $200. The barrier is fairly easy to install (skinny hubby did much of our low roof area in the WOOD framed (I know, most of you think that that is normal framing, but not at our house!) ohana lying down, some sitting & kneeling was involved. You may be able to find a general handyperson or a construction student at HCC to do this... make sure they use non-corroding staple in the staple gun!
Have you looked at the larger vent covers? Even the long narrow vent would be much better than the 'bird holes' for venting your attic.
And for those that haven't foamed your cross braces at the corrugations of the roof, there are vented closure strips that support the roof at the cross braces.(of course these are not readily available here, limit the venting that the corrugations supply and add a cost to your roofing, more than the side vents cost)
