My patio is curved so knowing how to make those cuts you showed will allow me to get that drip edge nice and snug against the facia. I wasn't clear about the tape you mentioned though. I guess I'll have to ask about that. It's some kind of silver tape because they previously put that on the existing drip edge.

I thought the whole point of a drip edge was to channel the rain down INTO a gutter, not behind the gutter down the flat side of the fascia boards. The way you are installing the drip edge is exactly how it was installed on my house, lying flat against the fascia boards BEHIND the gutter, which caused major rotting of all of the fascia boards. I just removed the old gutter and all of the damaged fascia boards on the back of my house entirely by myself and just finished installing the new fascia boards. You can bet my new drip edge will not be installed like the old one was.

Good morning Bags and Bling, You are correct, the gutter is supposed to go behind the drip edge. It sounds to me like your drip edge was installed correctly, but your gutters were not. The gutters should be tucked behind the drip edge on the high side of your gutter. It may not be covered on the low side because the gutters need to have a slope on them. This way the water will run towards the downspout. If your gutters were installed perfectly level, the water would stay in your gutters. The house in this video does not have gutters. If I were to add gutters, I would tuck the gutters behind the drip edge. Drip edge is sold in different widths, I personally like a wider drip edge when installing gutters. This way, your gutter may be tucked behind the drip edge on both the high and low side. Drip edge serves a few purposes, It deflects water away from your fascia, keeps the shingles from curling down against your fascia, protects the top edge of your fascia and keeps water from getting between the shingles and your roof sheathing. When gutters are installed, the drip edge will keep the water from seeping behind the gutter. Some people argue that the water will then get behind your gutter and cause rot. Some water may seep behind but it would be much worse if the drip edge were behind the gutter. The small amount of water that may get behind a properly installed gutter, will roll down the fascia to the ground. NEVER CAULK the gap between your fascia and the bottom of your gutter or you will hold water against the fascia. P.S. It is always good practice to periodically check the exterior of your home for any spots that may result in rot, Proper caulking and paint will also keep your home trouble free. I hope this helps. Thank you for your comment and have a good day! Paul

Samuel Sullivan Hi Samuel, I'm sorry about not giving that information. I sometimes miss certain details and I wish I would have added this one. I put my felt paper down 1st, I add my drip edge over my felt, I then add a starter strip. This is when you put your shingle backwards.(The part that has no dividers on it will go on the edge of the roof, all the way around). The next layer of shingles will go in the correct position. This keeps the edge neat and it also keeps the felt from lifting in high winds. Hope this helps! Paul

Paul Ricalde It's okay, we had pavers installed in our backyard and a guy took the corner of the drip edge out with his truck. There was no structural damage to the roof edge itself but the mangled drip edge was a bit of an eyesore. I also noticed after watching this video that there are only 2 corners that we're done properly on the house and I also noticed where someone had to use sealant on one of the corners. They did however overlap them correctly so it's basically corner fixes here and there.

Hi Samuel, I put my drip edge on top of my felt.This will give a neat look and it will also keep the felt from lifting in high winds. I then add my starter strip.( shingles placed backwards, with the finished side facing up the slope of the roof). The starter strip will go around the entire perimeter of the roofing. This will give your roof a clean edge and stiffen the overhang, thus keeping your shingles from folding over and sagging. I then add my finish shingles. In some areas near the coast and in the northern region, roofers will add a 3 to 4" strip of felt, glued down with roofing tar. This will help keep the water from blowing under the the roofing edge during heavy wind and ice storms. Hope this helps! Paul

The drip edge with the extended flange is known in the business as "F" style drip edge, and typically they come in common sizes such as 4 1/2" and 5 1/2" . You''l need this style if you want your leading edge to protrude far enough to drip into say, an eave gutter without leaving a shingle overhang so long that it droops down. Typically, this kind is only used on eaves. Using them on rakes is also acceptable, but more difficult to make look good as the eave drip meets the rake drip at the corner. The other, simpler L-shaped drip edge is known as "C" style, and they can come in common sizes ranging from 3 1/2" to 5 1/2", as well as some other sizes. These are perfectly acceptable to use on rake edges, and even on eave edges where you require a larger exposure to flash off a gutter. Be mindful that it is *VERY* important to make sure your drip edge covers the top lip(the one that touches the fascia board) of the gutter as much as is possible. This will direct all flowing water right into the gutter and give it little opportunity to get into the fascia board or soffit. There is also another drip edge known as gravel stop that is commonly used on flat roofs to keep water contained, disallowing it to flow over the rake edge. I don't like this guy's "inside cut". Doing that will leave open a square that remains unflashed in the corner at a place like the base of the valley, a place where you really want that flashing to be. On that cut, I also disapprove of leaving the edges square. They are sharp and might eventually poke in to the shingles or underlayment beneath as the years progress and fasteners may or may not loosen themselves. If I'm doing a piece of metal, no matter what it is, I'm going to be rounding off the corners. A rounded corner is safer to work with, causes less puncture problems, and if it is exposed, looks more aesthetically pleasing. A better way to do that cut(on a "C" style drip edge) would be to be first measure the roof-side flange of the drip edge(let's say it's 1 1/2"). Rather than using one piece and leaving a spot unflashed, this method marries two pieces without leaving out that unflashed square. Take the piece that you'll be using on the left side and cut(with snips, or use a straight razor knife to score it a few times untill it can bend and break, known as work hardening) into the bend to a depth of 1 1/2 inches, but do not remove any material. Bend the exposure part out towards you at a ninety degree angle, so it sits up flat against the adjacent fascia board to the right. Round the corners of the roof side flange. Take the piece you'll be using on the right side and do the same 1 1/2" cut into the bend, but this time remove the exposure part and then round the corners of the roof side flange. If done properly, the right side piece's left edge will sit right up against the bent flange you made on the left side piece's right edge and there will be no missing material where it is needed the most.
@Astromyxin

+Astromyxin Another thing, regarding the way a bend may not bend itself as straight as you want it to, all you have to do to get it to bend straight is, once you have the mark squared off, cut the top as the gentleman in the video did, except on the bottom(exposure side) take your snips and simply nick into the very bottom 1/8" of it or so(typically where there will be a rolled and hemmed edge if you're using a quality product) and this will relieve the tension and allow the piece to bend more freely, and it will also force the piece to bend right there at the nick, no need for a piece of wood.
@Astromyxin
8 жыл бұрын
+Astromyxin Another thing, when installing new eave drip, be sure, if at all possible, to at least attempt to get it *underneath* your first course of roofing underlayment at the very bottom of the roof. This way, any water that gets into the roof between the shingle and underlayment will roll right off the underlayment and into the gutter, not behind the drip edge and into the fascia assembly. If there is ice and water shield present, it is unlikely that you'll be able to successfully unstick it in order to get you drip edge underneath it. If there is only felt paper, it will prove much easier to finagle in up in there. Additionally, on the rake edges, it is important to make sure that the drip edge is *on top* of the underlayment all the way up the rake edge. This way, if any water does blow into the roof between the drip edge and shingles, it will blow right onto metal and then underlayment, leaving no possibility for it to get in between the two. Furthermore, if you have no drip edge currently on your rake edge and you decide to install an "F" style drip edge on the eave, the new extended lip will shrink your shingle overhang by however long that lip extends past the rake fascia board. Ideally what you want is about a 1" to 1 1/4" overhang on the rake edge. If you currently have a 1" overhang on the rake edge, and you install an "F" style drip edge, your new shingle overhang will likely be about a quarter of an inch, and that's no good. Most times, it is correct to install "C" style drip edging on rake edges for this very reason.

Drip Edge under or over felt?
@paulstoolbox
7 жыл бұрын
Hi Ed, The manufacturers recommend that you install the drip edge directly on the eves with the felt on top of the drip edge.( EVES..Lower horizontal part of the roof). On the rake, it is recommended to install the drip edge over the felt. This will keep the felt secured to the sheathing under heavy winds and rain. ( Rakes.... vertical part of roof or Gable) Codes in different areas of the country are conflicting when it comes to the placement order. Some codes call for the drip edge to be installed over the felt, or under-lament and cemented at the eves. The purpose of the under-lament is to keep the water off of the sheathing if the shingles fail. I personally believe that your most important part of your roof is the shingles, If they fail, you will have a problem regardless. Water may travel on top of the felt but it will find its way to your felt nails and it will leak. My roof was installed after Hurricane Katrina and the roofer installed the drip edge on top of the felt on the entire perimeter of my roof. I noticed it but was not concerned because I see roofers do this all the time for different reasons and I have not seen a roof fail because of this placement. It is usually because the roofer leave shiners( Exposed nails due to improper placement of the roofing nails, or if the nails hit the sheathing seam and eventually back out. My roof is 11 years old and it is still water tight. I also want to point out that I live in the south, so snow and ice are not a concern. As i mentioned earlier, different areas abide by different codes. You may need an Ice shield in your area. I hope this helps! Thanks! Paul

You will put your drip edge directly on your sheathing, add your ice shield and cover the seem on the seam of the drip edge where it covers the sheathing. This will keep the possibility of water from seeping under the drip edge, next you will add felt paper and shingles. I live in the south, so ice shield is not necessary for my situation. Thanks! Paul
