Ridge Cap Roof Repair – Woodstock, GA
This roof repair in Woodstock, GA restored localized protection to the home by addressing failing ridge cap shingles at the front gable ends. The project focused on correcting a specific problem area to improve weather resistance and prevent further exposure, while providing the homeowner with a temporary solution ahead of a future full reroof.
Project Overview
The homeowner reported visible issues at the front gable ends of the roof, where ridge cap shingles had deteriorated and were no longer providing proper coverage. An inspection confirmed multiple underlying concerns across the roof system; however, the homeowner elected to proceed only with limited repairs at this time.
The approved scope of work included replacing approximately five feet of ridge cap shingles at two front gable ends. These targeted repairs were completed to stabilize the most vulnerable areas of the roof and reduce the risk of wind-driven water intrusion. The homeowner was also provided with a separate estimate for a full roof replacement for future consideration.
Results
The completed repairs restored proper sealing and coverage at the affected ridge cap sections, improving localized weather resistance and extending the short-term functionality of the existing roof. New charcoal 3-tab shingles were installed to blend with the current roofing system and maintain curb appeal. While additional issues remain, the repaired areas now offer improved protection until a full reroof is completed.
