I am having my asphalt roof replaced with a standing seam metal roof. Everything is stripped off, prepped, and metal delivered. After a while, contractor asks me to come up on the roof. Turns out the metal fabricator cut the metal a couple inches too short. So, neither of us wanting to waste material, the contractor suggests that I allow the ridge cap to be made wider to cover the shorter metal. In looking at it, it doesn't seem that big a deal. Anyone know of a good reason a slightly wider than normal ridge cap should not be used?
