Thoughts on these!
1 - New ridge vent.
2 - Ridge vent over garage is too short?

If you're serious about number 2, I wouldn't call that out. Looks like a full ridge vent at the peak.

Joe, you're right about #2. I did not call it out, but the original ridge vent was twice as long. The new owner had original pictures.

At least it didn't look like this one from a recent inspection.

This is looking up from inside the attic.

Less than 1/2 inch gap on either side of the ridge board.

Air Vent Inc. has some good products.....well constructed, easy installs.

Dale:

It was the shingle vent design and not cut out correctly on either side. It is a very good product when installed correctly.

Yes, I see that....unreal the lack of any common sense these days.....

Never mind the ridge vent, how about all those butt joints in the siding stacked on top of one another in picture 2
