Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Install drip edge along eaves before the underlayment and along rakes after it, fastening through the extra-long flange into the deck every 8-12 inches as typical practice. Choose .019 in. aluminum for high-wind or heavy ice exposure and .016 in. for standard residential edges. Match the color to gutters or fascia for a clean roofline.
Drip edge edges can be sharp; wear gloves and eye protection when handling and cutting formed metal flashing.
Order Quality Edge Aluminum F8 Drip Edge in your color and gauge to finish the roof edge right.
