A properly installed drip edge ensures water flows cleanly off the roof, shielding the deck, fascia, and soffits from damage

Typically made from aluminum, galvanized steel, or copper, the drip edge runs along the roof’s perimeter

Without it, water can creep beneath shingles and saturate the fascia and soffit

Over time, this damage becomes expensive to repair and may even threaten the building’s integrity

For optimal performance, the drip edge must be installed correctly: over the roof deck but beneath the first row of shingles at the eaves

In cold climates, the drip edge helps mitigate ice dam formation by promoting unobstructed water flow

Most modern building codes now mandate the installation of roof drip edge due to its proven effectiveness

It is not a luxury or optional accessory—it is a fundamental layer of defense

Avoid cheap, thin metal that may bend or rust over time

A well-installed drip edge may appear minor, but its impact on roof longevity is profound
