My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Roofing question help

5 years ago
last modified: 5 years ago

Hi everyone - I had a new roof installed and have a question about the ridge cap vent. There seems to be some space between the ridge vent and the shingles on top of it. In some cases I can see the actual vent and the holes that provide ventilation. See photos attached. Is this normal?
