Removing the old
Here we are installing a new ridge vent system. We replaced the old aluminum ridge vent that was leaking into the home.
Large repair
Here is where the water was entering the home. The original installer of the old roof system removed too much of the OSB decking. And It wasn't able to support the smaller ridge vent to properly keep out the rain.
New Ridge Over Vent
Notice in this picture the un bleached surface where the old vent system covered. Also, look at how much wider the new ridge system is compaired to the old. The new system is 2.5 inches wider on each side. You can also see the ring shanked nails used to nail down the vent system and shingles that are installed on top.
