A method of attaching a cap shingle on a roof ridge line structure includes providing a plurality of risers configured to be flexed for alignment with the opposed roof planes, flexing and positioning the risers over the ridge line structure, and installing a series of the risers in an partially overlapping manner along the ridge line structure by fastening the risers to opposed roof planes. Cap shingles configured for attachment to the risers are flexed and attached to the risers. A roof structure installed according to the method is also provided. A ridge line roofing assembly comprising a series of partially overlapping risers molded together is also provided.

1. A method of attaching cap shingles on a roof ridge line structure, the ridge line structure being defined by opposed roof planes, the method comprising: forming a plurality of risers, each riser having a plurality of venting louvers formed through a broad face thereof, and extending along a longitudinal edge of the riser, each riser further having a plurality of apertures;positioning the risers over the ridge line structure, and installing a series of the risers in a partially overlapping manner along the ridge line structure by fastening the risers to the opposed roof planes;applying adhesive to a rear surface of each of a plurality of cap shingles; andattaching the cap shingles to the risers such that the adhesive flows through some of the apertures. 2. The method of claim 1 in which the installing of the risers and attachment of the shingles is carried out by placing a riser on the ridge line structure, placing a cap shingle on the riser, and fastening the cap shingle and the riser to the ridge line structure with a fastener. 3. The method of claim 1 in which the installing of the risers and attachment of the shingles is carried out by attaching at least one of the cap shingles to a riser, and then fastening the riser to the ridge line structure with a fastener. 4. The method of claim 1 in which the cap shingles have headlap portions and prime portions, and in which the step of installing the risers in a partially overlapping manner includes covering a headlap portion of a previously installed cap shingle. 5. The method of claim 1 in which the adhesive is applied to the cap shingles at a shingle manufacturing facility. 6. The method of claim 1 in which each riser has a sloped cross-sectional shape. 7. The method of claim 1 in which the cap shingles are positioned and attached to the risers between opposed columns of louvers. 8. The method of claim 1 in which the each riser has a rectangular shape in a plan view prior to being flexed for alignment with the opposed roof planes of the ridge line structure. 9. The method of claim 1 in which the risers are configured to be flexed for alignment with the opposed roof planes, and in which the risers are flexed before being installed on the roof, and further including flexing the cap shingles to conform to the flexed shape of the risers.
