Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Tapersawn hip and ridge units should be laid to a consistent exposure and fastened so each piece bridges the hip or ridge line securely. Match the 5/8 in. tapersawn grade to a comparable field shake grade for an even roofline. Miter-cut pieces at hip-ridge intersections and consider hip and ridge ventilation details if the system calls for them.
Use fall protection and follow the manufacturer's installation instructions and local building code when working on roofs.
