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.
