Would you report the drip edge missing or would you let it go as is?

David,


The valley is installed incorrectly..call it out to have licensed roofing contractor inspect. I would call out the drip edge as well. If it is not in the report yopu cannot cover your behind. JMHO.

I agree with Patrick.


In addition (and a really good reason for drip edge) What happens when water gets between the aluminum wrap and the rake board. ![icon_question.gif](upload://t2zemjDOQRADd4xSC3xOot86t0m.gif) It will rot and go undetected.
The need for drip edge is pretty important in this case.

Isn’t the flashing on the fascia baord just a bigger version of a drip edge. I used to install aluminium and these flashings are typically bent to fit under the shingles, the same as a drip edge. icon_question.gif

good point, but it looks like the wrap is tucked into the "J" channel. should drip out over sidding.

I would comment no drip edge, but if the shingle stick out far enough are they always required? Here in AZ no.

I would call it out on both items. I always take any find to the next logical step. I always ask myself: “What if I do not note it on the report and later it proves to be a problem?” This way I at least bring it to the customer’s attention and let them decide what needs to be corrected, addressed or ignored. I do not assume their responsibilities nor do I try to decide for them if something is important or not. I have found over the years, what may not be important to me is very important to someone else and vice verse. It actually makes the inspection process much easier and a very easy protocol to follow. NO second guessing, no speculations. Just the facts, Maam. Just the facts.

Here in central Texas its very common not to find drip edge on new construction. Instead they use a 1x2 and extend shingles past the 1x2.


Roofers do it to save money. I have not found anything saying this is not proper.

All the roofing manufactures recommend its use and so do I. Now thats a tough argument ![icon_biggrin.gif](upload://iKNGSw3qcRIEmXySa8gItY6Gczg.gif)

David I too install vinyl siding and pvc coated aluminum wrap for more years than I care to mention.


It is almost impossible to wrap over the facia edge at the eaves simply because roofing nails will prevent it.Most homes are roofed before the siding installers get there.

While drip edge is not required you will see it in better roofing applications.

The alum. wrap is indeed tucked into the "J" channel which in this particular application would only further trap water if it does leak behind the wrap.Drip edge would prevent this if it had been installed over the wrap.Style "D" edge would be excellent as it protrudes about 5/8 over the trim.[/quote]
