Drip edge installation work typically involves measuring and preparing the roof edges to ensure proper placement, then attaching metal or plastic strips along the eaves and rakes to direct water away from the fascia and underlying roofing components. The process includes ensuring the drip edge overlaps correctly with roofing materials, securing it with nails or fasteners, and checking for proper alignment to prevent water infiltration. When evaluating requests for drip edge installation, key details to consider include the type and material of the drip edge, the extent of the roof edges to be covered, the existing roofing condition, and any specific design or compatibility requirements with the current roofing system.
