Metal to shingle transition at ridge | Ask The Experts Forum

Guest User 1/31/2010	Small cape style house. We decided to put standard asphalt shingles on the front and standing seam metal roof on the back. Metal was chosen for the back because of occasional ice dams when it shows. Primary reason for not going all metal was cost. What is the best way to transition from shingle to metal at the ridge? The two options we have from the contractor are to have metal overlap the shingle or shingle overlap the metal. I'm leaning towards metal at the ridge. Any comments, suggestions, or concerns I should have about this selection? Thanks	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/14446/find/
