Signs that your ridge needs work
Look for liggers (the hazel rods along the ridge) that lift or break. Look for a ridge that sits low or uneven, holes made by birds, and moss that holds water.
If you replace the ridge in time, the coat below it stays dry. A ridge left too long lets water into the top of the coat. Then the repair costs more.
Ridge styles
A block-cut ridge is the raised ridge with a pattern of scallops and points cut along its lower edge. A flush ridge sits level with the coat. We match the style to your house, to its listing and to the local custom.
We fix each ridge with new hazel liggers and cross-rods. Wire netting over the roof keeps birds and rodents out.
