What if you started the rake drip edge so that half the length goes past the apex of the roof? That way you can make a cut right at that apex and fold the remaining drip edge down the other end of the roof. This would prevent having to marry up the two drip edges right at the apex

Thank you for taking the time to show us about the importance of drip edge. I bought a house and discovered later no drip edge around roof perimeters and substandard work / lack of flashing on chimney and gables. Valleys were "basketweaved" with architectural shingles which I was told voids their warranty. I am able to go to view KZbin and see videos like this where I can see and learn. Roofs are expensive to replace/repair and I didn't expect to worry about a re roof for several years; now I do. Again, thank you and I appreciate your time and trouble. It is so easy for some of the others to make snarky comments but then again, it takes very little to type some degrading comments and a whole lot more to take the trouble, time and resources that you did. Not to mention it bespeaks the lack of character of the snarks.

Wow! I have been trying to learn about ice & water shield, synthetic underlayent and drip edge. I watched several videos and still did not quite get it ... now I get it. You used that small mock roof which really placed everything down on my level and finally as you explained how cutting the back end of drip edge and tucking it around the corner seals the whole corner of the house much better than just butting it up together, it suddenly became clearer. I even gained more clarity about underlayment being installed UNDER EAVES and ABOVE RAKE edge. Hey, what can I say except thanks? Now I'm ready. LOL

If the fascia is wrapped in aluminum, no gap is necessary because the gutter board is protected by metal. Let the shingles hang over the drip edge by 1 inch to ensure the water goes in the gutter and not behind it. Leaving a gap opens up the possibility of wasps and carpenter bees having access to the wood.

Valuable lesson for free. Much appreciated. Just had my gutter fall off my back porch roof from wood rot. The roofer who installed the previous drip edge must have done something wrong. The water used to drip right before the gutter, forming icicles in the winter, and after years of this problem the wood that the gutter was nailed into rotted and down came the drip edge with the gutter. I am getting a whole new deck but looking at the failed gutter it is easy to see the water got under the shingles and in-between the drip edge and gutter. If I was younger and had a long ladder I would have attempted a repair many moons ago and that is only if I saw your video showing how to first. Thanks and stay safe! 👏👏👍

Good video. Although usually with steel drip, if you cut a notch out of the inner intersecting piece, you can get a tighter and more flush overlap. This way along 60-100 foot sections, you don't have a bump out or wavy drip along the fascia.

It's very important to leave a decent gap between the drip edge and facia board to keep the water draining straight down (most recommend 1/2" to 1"). A 1 x 2 furring strip works well Also, be sure to extend the shingles 3/8" - 1/2" beyond the drip edge to prevent water from getting sucked back and up - This Old House has a great short video showing why and how.

At the top of the rake, you should silicone the where the two drip edges meet, other wise wind driven water WILL get under it and go all the way down the rake, possibly into the sheathing edge your trying to protect.

Good video! The only thing I would do differently is to have the drip edge about half inch to a full inch from the fascia. If you don't, the water won't go into the gutter but down the front of the fascia and rot it out. The gutter needs to be installed behind the drip edge.
@jkbowers56
@jkbowers56 Жыл бұрын
Good point. If there's no gap, water WILL dun down the fascia in moderate to heavy rain or during sustained light rain. Using a 3/8" gap is usually enough to prevent this... I'd be very waty of more than a 1/2" if living in a high wind region. 1" is far too much in very windy areas, allowing wind to tear off the drip edge if additional fastening is not done to keep it in place.
@jkbowers56
@jkbowers56 Жыл бұрын
Additional fasteners can be used, but you run the risk of heat/cold expansions and contractions doing strange things to the drip edge that can affect the integrity of your roofing, as well as creating a degradation of the professional appearance of the roof's edge.

It's better to leave a gap between the drip edge and fascia. With direct contact, the drip edge will run the water right down the fascia and rot it out. A gap is also ideal for gutter installation.

Spencer Hall absolutely. I ve seen a lot of guys do a lot of different things re drip edge and flashing. Lot of code confusion sometimes and /or common sense. So of the new stuff like ice/water barrier vs felt stick to the roof as you put it down leaving some confused - drip edge under? Roll the material down the fascia then drip edge? I just watch an experienced roofer do it the wrong way. At the rake do you put drip edge over it or under? Again he got wrong.
@Josh-ww5kz
@Josh-ww5kz 3 жыл бұрын
Come on.. Do you really think that there's going to be enough water hitting that area to cause a problem? Fascia boards are meant to resist some rain. They are on the outside of the house right? All you have to do is when your piece hits the ridge, cut it slightly so it doesn't poke out the other side of the roof, then snip off the bottom lip of the drip edge, then when your drip edge comes from the other side, cut it flush with the fascia angle. There's a overlap underneath and the two peices should be snug to eachother. You can even have the bottom lip of the drip edge that's overlapping, clip onto the piece that's behind it.

Any suggestions how to nail the drip edge after shingles installed. My shed needs a drip edge
@DoItWithDill
@DoItWithDill 4 жыл бұрын
True North Muskoka using a flat pry bar, carefully remove nails along gables approximately 4 inches inside from the gable edge. Do this all the way up the gable. Insert drip edge by tucking it in below the shingles ensuring not to damage the shingles, and making sure it is fit securely to the roof decking. Once in place, replace the nails you removed along the gable edge and make sure you nail the drip edge during your re nailing process. Do no face nail shingles. Also make sure nails are covered by shingle course to prevent the nails from rusting and leaking.

What's your opinion on having the drip edge over hang by a 1/2 inch? This Old House has a video describing that it is needed to keep rain water from contacting the fascia board.

Mike Mays it does work however it’s an extra preventative measure and isn’t actually necessary. Drip edge made by a good manufacturer is already bent out a half inch from the fascia board.

@@DoItWithDill True, but it can still wick up behind the drip edge if it's in contact with the facia board. That's why some manufacturers make a "double" drip edge (see Rite-Flow drip edge to see how it works.) I've never seen the usual drip edge, pressed up snug against the facia board that didn't sheet water down the facia board. Go out during your next rainstorm and watch. It needs to stand off from the facia board a bit or use the double drip edge. Otherwise wood facia boards have rot in their future.

Hey please don't spread that information to put the drip edge tight to the fascia. You need to float it out at least 1 inch past the fascia. The gutter will only go under the drip edge at one end then you need to have slope. Thats why the drip edge needs to float out so it can still drip into the gutter when you add your slope. Having your drip edge tight to the fascia will cause water to drip in behind your gutters. I've owned my own gutter business for 11 years and I speak from experience. Customers would always call us after a new roof installation was done, saying that their eavestrough were leaking all over and the roofer said they needed a new gutter system. But really they installed the drip edge wrong! If you think I'm wrong add a gutter to a 20 foot run have your proper slope at the other end. Yes you tuck your one end under the drip edge. But by the time you slope your eavestrough to the other end it won't be under that drip edge. In that section do a water test. Grab a water hose and let it run off the roof and you will see the water drip in behind the eavestrough. Most roofers don't install gutters to understand the importance of floating it. And you cannot tuck the whole length of gutter under the drip edge or else it would be straight with no slope. You need to have slope! Roofers for years have been installing drip edge the way your explaining it and its wrong. Thats why you believe that's how you actually install it because you were taught that way.

Jason Lajaro is right. There is a TOH video demonstrating this. Not only the (important) gutter issue, but even if no gutters are present, having the drip edge tight against wood fascia will allow water to crawl back up between the drip edge and fascia due to capillary action (especially in wind blown rain, which most rain here in New England is). I just ripped out a bunch of rotted wood fascia due to the drip edge tight against it- it's best to leave a gap, although I'm not sure of the ideal gap - Tommy of TOH says "a finger"- I was hoping for something with more precise units but I think about a 1/2". Some people use a furring strip to create that gap but I don't see the point as then the furring strip will rot (and look nasty from below for runs visible from below) and in turn will eventually cause the fascia to which it is nailed to also rot. I think a decent quality/gauge drip edge doesn't need a furring strip to support the required gap.
