Ridge Cap
Pre-formed shingles installed over the ridge to seal the peak where two roof slopes meet.
Manufacturer-spec ridge cap (e.g., GAF Seal-A-Ridge, CertainTeed ShadowRidge) is a separate line item from field shingles. Carriers sometimes price it as cut field shingles, which is incorrect for warranty and code compliance.
