Ridge Cap Repair

What This Service Involves

The ridge cap crowns the most exposed line of the roof, taking the full force of the wind that sweeps over Northwest ridgelines. When caps loosen or crack, wind-driven rain drives straight into the peak and down along the ridge board. Our crews reseal, refasten, or replace individual cap pieces and check the ridge vent beneath for proper function. A tight ridge is essential because a failure here spreads water across the highest and most vulnerable seam of the roof.

Benefits

Reseals the roof's most exposed peak line; Refastens caps against ridge-top winds; Protects the vulnerable ridge board seam; Verifies proper ridge vent operation; Prevents wind-driven rain at the peak

Our Process

1) Inspect the ridge line for loose or cracked caps; 2) Remove failed cap pieces and check the vent; 3) Install and fasten matched cap shingles; 4) Seal the ridge and confirm weather-tightness

What Affects the Cost

Length of ridge needing repair; Number of damaged cap pieces; Condition of the ridge vent beneath; Wind exposure of the ridge; Roof height and access

Best Time of Year

Ridge cap repairs are ideal in calm, dry weather, and fall service prepares the peak for winter wind season.
