Completing Your Metal Roof System in Tampa

Every roof panel converges at the ridge, creating a joint that Florida's heavy summer rain will find if the cap is improperly installed or undersized for the rib height.

Our stocked trim is made from the same kind of coated steel as our panels, in Galvalume, SMP painted or Kynar 500 painted finishes (some pieces also in .032 aluminum). The trim price list shows the gauges and finishes available for each piece. Ridge caps are bent to your roof pitch, so tell us the pitch when you order. Our standard 12-inch cap has legs of about 6 inches on each side (the 18-inch cap has about 9 inches), which lap onto the panels and shed wind-driven rain. For very low slopes, call us and we will go over the cap size.

Color matching is straightforward: every color in our painted palette is available in the ridge cap profile. When you place your panel order, simply add the same color ridge cap to your list. For custom bent caps, the $63.00-per-10-foot-piece price is the same for all colors and gauge options — no upcharge for painted caps. For a gable barn with a 40-foot ridge, you will need 5 pieces to allow for overlaps and waste: 5 pieces at $63.00 is $315.00.

Ridge Cap FAQs

How many ridge cap sections do I need for my roof?
Divide your ridge length in feet by 9.75 (a 10-ft piece less about a 3-inch overlap) and round up. A 40-ft ridge needs 5 pieces. Add one more piece if you want a spare for cutting. Some panel makers call for a longer overlap, so check your panel's instructions.
Do ridge caps come in colors to match my panels?
Yes. All ridge caps are available in the same painted colors as our panels, plus Galvalume. When ordering, specify the same color name as your panel for a perfect match.
What is the difference between flat and step ridge cap?
A flat ridge cap is a straight-bent cap for a normal ridge. A cap with stepped edges (our 18-inch size) has legs that step to sit over the panel ribs. If your roof changes slope, you need transition flashing; if a roof meets a wall, you need wall or endwall flashing. Not sure? Call (813) 410-7427 and we'll help you pick.
What gauge ridge cap should I use?
Trim is usually the same gauge as the panel or one step heavier. 26 gauge is the usual choice for homes and commercial roofs, and 29 gauge is common on barns and other post-frame buildings. Heavier trim resists oil-canning (waviness) and dents from over-tightened screws. The trim price list shows the gauges and finishes available for each piece.
Are ridge caps compatible with R Panel, Tuff Rib (9-5 Panel), and PBR?
Yes. Our ridge caps and trim are made to work with all FL Sheet Metal panel profiles. The cap sits over the top of the panels on closure strips and butyl tape, and is screwed to the panel ribs. Follow your panel maker's instructions for fastener type and spacing.
What is the price per section for ridge caps?
Ridge caps for R Panel, PBR and corrugated are custom bent to your pitch at one flat price: $63.00 per 10-foot piece, in Galvalume or any of our painted colors. Ridge caps for Tuff Rib, 5V Crimp and standing seam are stocked profiles priced by size, gauge and finish, from $34.96 per 10-foot piece for a 12-inch cap.
