Default Roof drip edge

Roof today has the 8" drip flashing sticking out 2-3" beyond the edge of the shingles and 1-2" beyond the edge of the fascia. Outside of being ugly and not installed right, do you see any problems that will be caused?

I wonder if it was an after thought when they realized the shingles didn't make it all the way to the edge of the roof?

Thanks,

Judging from your photo it is just one of several indications the roof was not installed by a professional. Those shingles look like they were laid down by a couple of drunks. There is no telling what else was done improperly that you can not see. Proceed with caution!



"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing is worth a war, is worse. A man who has nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance at being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

- John Stuart Mill

Before thought, during thought, after thought, irrelevant it's just wrong and outer course of shingles requires tear off and CORRECT reinstallation. While they are doing this they can very easily also install proper drip edge flashings

man if all of these were the same house, you got one messed up inspection, hope you charged enough

Thanks,

For some reason after looking at the pic, I'm think major leaking for starters?

I've seen the shingles cut back a 1/4 to 1 inch but several inches from the edge? Here's ur sign

Hi Scott, Pretty slow out here but I,m starting a marketing campaign for heat loss surveys using the Ir camera, hopefully that will keep me busy.
Good to hear from you.
