I just had a new roof put on with GAF asphalt shingles. For the ridge
caps, the roofers used a high profile shingle that is folded under at
one edge, giving it a thicker appearance. I was told that this give
the appearance more like wood shingles, and this was a more high end
treatment. All the rest of the homes in my neighbhorhood that have
new roofs have ridgecaps that lay very flush to the surface, and this
looks tighter and more refined to me. Can anyone comment on these two
types of treatments? I was thinking that the product on my roof,
because it is thcker, will warp or turn up on an edge more easily. I
have never seen this type of product before.
