Drip edge-- Steel vs Aluminum
Comments (8)Thanks for the replys. Talked with my roofer again today and he said the problem with aluminum is the affect heat and cold have on it. He said sometimes it will stick out two inches in the heat. Temperature can vary from -10° F to 103° F. The steel product is powder coated and has a 50 year warranty. Also talked with the soffit fascia company, who also do roofing, and they say 99% of there roofs get aluminum drip edge. Please let me know if any of you have any other thoughts or experiences....See Morere-roof always w/ drip edge???
Comments (8)Gosh... I had *another* estimate today and *this* guy said that drip edges are not recommended by his company....more suitable for northern climates where the water drips off and sort of "in" from built up snow. This is not a cheap fly-by-night company and is an Owen's Corning preferred contractor (just like the other one). In fact, this one is the biggest in East Tennessee. These guys both normally charge a bit more than most. He said that they have found too many rotten facia boards hiding under the drip edge in this area. They seem to use very high quality (not cost cutting) in all of the items I asked about. They use those nails that have actual barb wires which prevent backing out, the Owens Corning "system", and a complete re-do of the chimney flashing. Given how inexpensive drip edge is, it's hard to imagine that he would be so insistent about it. He says his shingles will hang over about 2" into the gutter....See MoreDrip Edge not installed
Comments (3)Should have drip edge installed along all edges. It should have been part of roofing deal but if is not, I'd spend the extra to safeguard your roof from damage down the road....See Moredrip edge fascia colors
