What you are looking at
This roof is steep, with a main gable and a smaller dormer roof that ties into it. Where the dormer meets the main slope is the spot most likely to leak on a house like this, so that joint gets the most care.
The ridge cap runs the full length of the main roof in one line. On a steep gable the ridge is the part of the roof people see from the street, and it is also where wind pulls hardest on a shingle.
The chimney sits on the main slope, and the new shingles are fit to it on every side so water runs around it, not behind it.
