We are having a debate within our adjuster group with regards to the feasibility of repairing ridges. Here is the scenario. Imagine a normal composition ridge of approximately 20 LF. One tab is damaged on the ridge in the middle. Can that tab be repaired? Keep in mind that the ridge shingles are bent and will likely tear when attempting to slide another ridge shingle under them. Additionally, I know that almost everything can be repaired, so here is my next question. Is repairing the ridge the usual and normal way to adjust such a claim? Please disregard minimum allowances, etc. Just address the issue of ridge repair. Also assume that the shingles are in good condition, say 4 years old, and are not brittle. This is a 3-tab roof.

Sure a ridge can be repaired. They do it all the time. Allow for 2 or 3 feet of ridgecap, a minimum charge and close the claim.

Of course a ridge can be repaired. You say no minimum charge, but with 20 LF, I don't see any other way, unless you want to put $20.00 for some Home Depot tar.

Thanks for the replies. The reason I said "no minimums" is because I wanted your opinion if the ridge was reapirable or not. Like you, I know that ridges are repairable. I have seen them done many times. I just wanted your responses so that I could convince another person that ridges are repairable. Once again, thanks!!!!

replace 20 LF @ xact price of say $ 5.25 per and makes for good line item entry and is most times less than the minimums the carriers hate to see. or you really can do what kile says and do 3-4 feet and that does it also.
matter of carrier, getting roofer out there or how talented your insured is with a hammer and nails.<

How much would you charge for:
1. Going to home owners house to match the color
2. Go and buy a bundle of shingles.
3. Return to break open the bundle and take out 1 shingle and cut one tab.
4. Get ur ladder out and climb the roof with your tool belt which will include a nail bar, hammer, nails and some roof cement.
5. Pry out the existing tab.
6. Install the new tab.
7. Use a little roof cement just to make it look a little more technical then it really is.
Please consider mat, labor and profit. How much would that be?
Just wondering.
I would not do it for less then $100. If the supply house was reasonably close.

Well, Demi, since my base service charge is over $100 we would be in good shape.

Indead, although the steeper the roof, the steeper the charge.
