Why ridges and hips matter so much here
How focusing on the highest and most exposed parts of the roof helps reduce leaks over time.
Ridges take the brunt of the wind
Roof ridges are the highest points and see direct gusts from multiple directions. Damage here can let water work down both sides of the roof during storms.
Hips and edges are constant stress points
Hips and roof edges often show wear before the main field of the roof. Small gaps or lifted materials in these areas can quickly become leak paths.
Why focusing here matters
Paying extra attention to ridges, hips and edges in Quartz Hill can significantly extend the useful life of a roof, especially on homes that see a lot of wind.
