Ridge Cap Replacement

What This Service Involves

When ridge caps have deteriorated along the entire peak, spot repairs no longer keep the Northwest weather out and a full replacement is warranted. We strip the old caps, inspect and correct the ridge vent, and install a fresh, continuous run of matched or upgraded capping. Proper cap replacement re-establishes a clean, sealed line that resists the gusts funneling over your roof. It also refreshes the finished appearance of the most visible edge on the roof.
