Open Country Wind
Out here there is very little between a roof and the weather. Wind rating and nail pattern matter more than they do in a sheltered town, and ridge caps are usually the first thing to go.
After any significant blow it is worth walking around the house and looking at the ridge line and the rake edges with binoculars.
What We Get Called For in Orion
- Ridge cap and edge damage after wind events
- Older housing reaching the end of a second roof
- House and outbuilding work together
