Ridge cap shingles are the final pieces installed on a roof, covering the ridge, or peak, where two roof planes meet. They serve several important functions, including protecting the roof from water damage, enhancing its overall appearance, and providing ventilation.
Installing ridge cap shingles is a relatively simple process, but it is important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully to ensure a proper installation. Generally, the steps involved include preparing the roof surface, installing starter strips, laying the ridge cap shingles, and sealing the joints.
