Cue the birds singing! Cue the neighbor dog barking! Roofing is good for the soul. You articulate the process with amazing clarity. Thank you, this was worth watching.
I'm in Illinois and just had my roof replaced due to hail damage along with removal of the standard vents in favor of this ridge vent upgrade system and after looking at the design on a few you tube videos, I can honestly say I am regretting it now. With enough wind, rain and snow, this system appears to be able to allow for a high probability of moisture to enter the attic. Something I never seemed to have to worry about with tradional metal vents.
You should have used wire mesh before installing the ridge. That is thin plastic and rats can chew right through that. Also American cockroaches, wasp and other bugs can crawl right through those ventilation cracks and get into the attic space. Your attic should be screened like you would your living space with the windows open. Gaps and cracks lead to rodents.
Thank you…
Hey… this is all well and good for somebody already knows how to do it but you did not show how you do the end how do you make the end of the ridge vent row all color and no nail showing
Good job my friend. May our Lord bless you and your family.
Smart man! You hand nail the cap. I've seen others use 1 inch and a quarter with the nail gun. this is unacceptable and the lazy way to put on cap!
Great video! Thank you for sharing the series. These were very helpful. I was able to roof my new shed after watching these.
good job
Do not cut your own ridge cap, doing so voids the warranty
why do you nail it down on tar line? other guys say it should be nailed down under or above the tar line? Please comment, Thanks
good video i was wondering about the subject and this one was the more detailed, unfortunately no answers for the related good questions…
How do you end the capping on the ridge and ridge vent?
i always install the vent across the entire ridge because it just looks better.
Nice video, do you not have to put any sealant under the vents when putting them down?
Great video and instructions,
thank you,
Harry
Awesome video and nice works! Thanks
when you cap the vent do you pre drill nail holes in the shingle????
How do you finish at the other end?
