Hip and ridge shingles
The shingles used along roof peaks and hips — a separate product and line item from the field shingles.
On a real claim
Hip and ridge shingles run along roof peaks and hips and are a separate product and line item from the field shingles. On a claim they are measured by the linear foot of hip and ridge, not counted as field coverage. What goes wrong: a takeoff prices hips and ridges as field shingles and comes up short, or leaves them off and the crew improvises. Check that hip and ridge is measured and priced on its own line.
