Ridge Cap and Hip Repair in Nashville and Middle Tennessee

Ridge Cap and Hip Repair, explained.
Ridge caps cover the joint where two roof slopes meet. They are exposed to the strongest winds, and when their sealant fails they lift, crack and blow away. Water then enters along the peak, often unseen until a stain appears.
We replace damaged caps, re-secure loose ones, repair ridge vents and check the decking and underlayment beneath, so the peak is sealed again.
Signs you need this
- Ridge caps are missing or lifted
- You see daylight or stains near the peak
- A ridge vent is damaged
- A wind event has passed through
A good fit, and what to know.
We would rather you hear the limits from us than discover them later.
A good fit when
- The ridge or hips were damaged in a storm
- You see gaps along the peak
- Water stains appear in the upper rooms
Worth knowing
- Damaged decking below the ridge needs separate repair
- Old caps may not match new ones exactly

Seals the peak
The highest point of the roof is watertight again.
Fastened for wind
New caps are secured to resist high gusts.
Protects the attic
A sound ridge keeps rain and snow out.
