Drip edge: Over or under tar paper at the eave?

Correct or incorrect?:cool:

1/2 and 1/2…:cool:

Incorrect for the eave, correct for the rake. Even the starter course is not nailed properly into the drip edge.

And, it looks like you pulled the shingle up out of its nail (which is too high). Better go back and fix it.

That 1/2 or the other 1/2? :smiley:

The last 8 houses have all had the drip edge over the paper…

Incorrect.
Look at the water stains on the rake metal.
It should have tar.

Did not vote as it would really depend on which geographic region the home was built in. While the building code permits both under or over installation in my area it is installed under at both rake and eave because if wind loads. From F.E.M.A see below

All roof edges should have a metal drip edge installed over the top of the edges of the underlayment and the drip edge at the eaves should have adhesive sealant under the edge to keep water from seeping under the drip edge. Complete the seal at the edges by applying a 4-inch wide layer of asphalt adhesive along the roof edges (eaves and rakes) to seal the edge and to adhere the perimeter shingles or starter strip (at the eaves) to the edge of the roof.

over on the rake, under at the eaves

under at eave, over on rake

What about over the shingle? :smiley:

Apparently I didn’t list enough options on the poll :wink:

Thank Heavens!

Gotta hold the failed shingles down somehow! :mrgreen:

I would be interested in what the guy does for a living that did that work pictured. :wink:
