Just a tip for anyone putting the ridge caps on themselves. Pay attention to the wind direction in your area. If the wind blows from east to west for example, start the ridge cap so the exposed or open overlapping area is on the west, that way the wind doesn't have a chance to get under the shingle.

Why didn't you show how you put in the last piece? Is that not the most important piece you have to lay down

Thanks for this tutorial. I was able to repair my shed roof using the same technique.

Ridge cap are thicker than regular shingles and they come pre bent to easily fit along the ridge. Of course you can always double up to make them look as thick

Wouldn't doubling up on the shingles be hard to work with?

Nice install. Do they not sell a sort of mail machine/ mail gun, that would help with installing the nails?

@FixThisHouse 2 жыл бұрын

Hi brother! Yes they do have a nail gun that specifically for roofing. I hope you got my last message from my last video brother because you won that giveaway brother. Please email me when you have time at Fixthishouse1@yahoo.com

You're not supposed to use architectural shingles as roof ridge caps. Get the matching shingle in a 3 tab. Cleaner look and will not blow off. Also don't forget to use starter on both ends so the first and last one sticks! I almost made the same mistake.

That would be nice. If only most of the roofers knew that.

What about using the shingles specifically created to be used as a roof cap ,aren't they supposed to be stronger than a regular 3 tab roof shingle?

@maximumcorruption 7 ай бұрын

If you can find them, which were not available to me, plus they cost more, and 3 tabs work perfectly.@@staresce

What about the holes where the old nails came out of? Do you just leave them open to the eliminates allowing water to enter the home. Not a good idea.
