A device for roof structures having a ridge or hip defined by the planes of two roof decks, disposed at an angle with respect to each other defining a longitudinal joint. A longitudinally extending cover with at least one coextensive channel defined by a bottom, two spacer walls and two lateral walls are mounted over the ridge or hip. The channel(s) increases the effective contact area to enhance the gripping action of the adhesive compound. From the longitudinal bends of the cover wall extend two perpendicularly extending walls with distal ends that continue with longitudinally coextensive flanges. The longitudinal flanges extend at an angle to be cooperatively and rigidly mounted over the roof decks with mechanical fasteners. An adhesive compound is positioned in the channel and over the cover. The adhesive is pressed so that part of it protrudes through the through openings positioned along the bottom, spacer and lateral walls that define the channel thereby creating a mechanical anchorage with the device. Tile accessories are placed over the cover and in contact with the adhesive compound to secure them to the device.
