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!

Concerned about the waste generated by replacing your roof??  Now there is a way to recycle shingles.  Check out this video!

No shingles needed for these roofs!!

Do you think this kind of roof would be less maintenance than a shingled roof?  What are your thoughts??

THANK YOU!!!

Since it is friday, I thought I would take a break from roofing news and post something a little different.  As an avid fan of TEDTalks, I came across this inspiring video and wanted to use it as a way to thank all of the great Homeowners we have worked with.

We here at Carolina Shingle are grateful for your business and wish you peace and gratitude!

We hope you all have the opportunity to take time to appreciate and enjoy the days we have been given.

Have a wonderful weekend!!

As we are in the midst of STORM SEASON, you may be wondering what kind of protection the GAF shingles offer...
