What do you think of these shingles on the rooftop peak?

^^^Is this anything to worry about? I've seen other roofs like this but never thought much of it. I'm wondering why the shingles were done that way?

Looks like it has a ridge vent...which sits about 1" higher than the peak itself. Odd they didn't do the entire ridge though....

Yeah, it's strange. The photo doesn't show the other half of the ridge, but the entire ridge with the odd shingling looks like this:

They went cheap I imagine...just to get the minimum required exhaust venting.....prob would have cost another $100 or so to do the whole thing.....

As far as I know that's just a way for the company to save a few bucks. Ridgevent costs money so some try to skimp on it. Looks bad, but probably won't leak if it was installed properly.
