This dated ridge vent was an obvious cosmetic issue, and it also was so worn down from old age that it was not providing the best efficiency performance that more up-to-date ridge vents are able to provide. Ridge vents are considered a “ventilation upgrade” and should, on every occasion, perform as such.

Our crews knew the situation when they walked in, which meant that they were prepared for the job with matching shingles to the current existing shingles on the roof since this new ridge vent was going to be camouflaged with the appropriate shingles atop of the installed ventilation system. That is the professional method for installing a ridge vent – far too often inexperienced roofers will just simply use the normal shingles used on the rest of the home and that is not the proper way nor will it last. So make sure your roofer has experience in their field and thoroughly explains what they are promising come the time that they are leaving and asking for payment.
