So what is Drip Edge, you ask??


It just so happens to be a very important flashing that runs along the entire edge of your roof.  Located at the bottom of your roof slopes and the gable sides, it protects the edge of the roof decking and fascia board, preventing any water dripping off your shingles from being soaked up by the ever porous wood.

The flashing should be tucked underneath the roofing felt and laid over the top of the gutter (if at the bottom of a slope) and over the top of the fascia board.  See the photos to get a visual.  Some home owners have been unlucky enough to find out their home does not have drip edge.  Contact Carolina Shingle to get a free roof consultation!
