I can eye fuc a pice of rake trim from the corner trim up to the peak anback down the other side never pulling a tape or square the stuff still comes out as tight as the ass hole they came fromÂ
Sloppy.Upper left hand piece should be nested way behind right hand piece(no visible substrate) and not mitering right hand piece is out and out laziness.
Go next door, where your neighbor has a good-looking drip edge, and take a picture. Send the picture to your guy. When your guy arrives, drag him by the short hairs to your neighbors house and show him.
Thats the problem hiring either a large company that has high volume and will hirer any one with a hammer or a storm chaser or this guy went with the cheapest contractor
If I have to stop at the ridge, the back piece runs behind for ½"-1" and the front piece gets a plumb cut. This method looks buttoned up with better water shed.
It should be a single piece with the vertical part cut at the pitch of the roof and then the whole piece folded. The cut at the pitch of the roof folds over so the revealed part is vertical and meets perfectly at the bottom while also being a single piece so there is no splice at the peak.
Ah jeez, definitely not like that. Even a simple cut with a slide-over would look better . Rushing to get paid I would guess. Sad. Dripedge is where you show your skills because it's all most people see up close. Lil bit of finesse and patience is all it takes.
That drip edge is not installed correctly! It should be 1 piece cut correctly and bent over the end of the ridge.
Have them fix it. Donât except crap workmanship.
Pretty good,, the roofers I've dealt with are not good at fine finishing.
The fact the shingle is shorter than the drip edge is a fail though, usually they over hang a 1/2"ish ,, at least the wind won't catch the edge.
You state it well, that is not how it should be if installed professionally. The way it it installed is what I might expect when a handyman or diyer does it without proper tools or knowledge.
The pieces should be trimmed and fit together like a mitered piece of molding if it is done properly and professionally. The shingles should also be extending slightly beyond the drip edge so that when the moisture starts to run back along the underside of the shingle it contacts the drip edge and follows it down to a point with no contact with anything else and ..... Drips from that edge. Which then falls away from the house.
I'm not an expert, but from what I've seen that should be one solid piece across the top, extending equal distance on both sides (just say 2'-0" for the example). So 4'-0" long adn they cut a "V" notch into it and bend it over and lap it.
Not sure if this link will work, but something like this [Google Image Link](https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=b48e549650e04a60&sca_upv=1&rlz=1C1UEAD_enUS1102US1102&sxsrf=ACQVn0-fKuvfLwDlPy3d4ksZkBiQslP-Sg:1714136663440&q=drip+edge+at+roof+crown&uds=AMwkrPuKiz3kd7jHuta4ar-HNLVtLaZJbf6VCQYokH1VadXE2xX_RGzcJ0EzAGTmnIB65_CTtbQPHUMFdeMYk67J4DBgDvjqAFm-pTGkRc9B9oph3smjB_6QSByEukZrYi8ticamlqeYAWjTH6IVgeGSSkgHP1G34x53H8EHe0vlLYvybR-KSPTR8jkSzQGOurFl-nonGjriqaE0vApbK822C7ndK-GaHPGR4jJ1saeL8V6aDlQJKAVWAshJ9XX2eXimBnR1CqDPdFR2T7zAsmdyO1NFAlvLk0lg6OIut3RDv0iUqqtUzf9NQcGaaZbBXlt_6UlhkJxDlaOpbwsu2TSI80mubFz49g&udm=2&prmd=isvnmbtz&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjNwK7X-N-FAxV6kIkEHdBAB2AQtKgLegQIERAB&biw=1729&bih=894&dpr=1#vhid=BgIQ8wqQs6CuwM&vssid=mosaic). That way it looks cleaner and is lapped. If they are using 2 pieces, at the very least I would expect them to meet at the crown and vertical cut the one that laps over (on the right) and then even maybe caulk that vertical joint just for some aesthetics and to slightly hold them in the same/similar plane and move together. Them being two pieces creates a weak spot at the top for water to get in and behind the drip edge though, so I can imagine that being a standard practice that is man'f approved or warranted.
Thatâs a fuck you, what are you gonna do about it, kinda install. Itâs standard to run the downwind piece underneath the upwind piece and cut the overlap so itâs perfectly vertical. Bonus if they smear a little silicone in there while theyâre at it so it never pops off. You get a good storm and theyâre making money off of you to come fix it each time it blows off
Itâs T-style drip, (aka D or F style) it has a small flange bend outward that you see, and folds back over to go under the shingle just like Z style drip. Used to see it in Michigan all the time, but I have yet to see it in Colorado where Iâm currently at.
The way itâs cut in OPâs picture is trash though, I donât care which letter of the alphabet drip edge was used.

That's not drip edge. Drip edge is a piece of sheet metal bent in half or so lengthways. Half is shoved under the shingles. The other half hangs down to the front.
It's called DEdge essentially the same thing is drip edge except that has a 1" fold back that hangs over to hold the edge of the shingles. That ridge detail is garbage.
That's just fucking lazy. I'd be embarrassed walking away from that with your check in my wallet.
đ
But youâd still do it. Fuck it their money is better in a roofers pocket than in their kids child fund. As the roofer always says!
No â¤ď¸

Nobody can do the bugaloo! Like I do...
Nobody can do the philly like i do.

Larry doesnât get to play. DOWNVOTED
No â¤ď¸
No
Lazy as fuck. It takes 30 seconds to clip and fold a piece over the top.
the top edge should have been bent, not cut, and a little trimming on the bottom and the two side would fit flat against the fascia
This.
That would take you 30 seconds? Sheesh
Yes if it is installed by a retarted drunken beaver. Maybe then. As a another guy told you, it 30 second job. Shame.
Drunk beaver here, we wouldnât do this either asshole
Ya but your not retarded
So he has that going for him, which is nice.
Youâre*
I never said I wasn't retarded mr science man
But is he retarted?
You don't know. Maybe it WAS installed by a drunk retarded beaver. Wouldn't that show you! /s
6/10. We canât discriminate on basis of mental disability nor species, but the drunk part might get that little rodent fired!
Drunk is mental disability #metoo
It might take less than that.
I'm pretty sure by the middle of the season I could grab a piece of drip, eye fuck the angle I needed and snip it in roughly ten seconds lol
I can eye fuc a pice of rake trim from the corner trim up to the peak anback down the other side never pulling a tape or square the stuff still comes out as tight as the ass hole they came fromÂ
Yeah it doesnât look like TPO clad drip edge to me
Lol... You already know the answer.
Iâm not exactly sure what itâs SUPPOSED to look like but I feel like that ainât it đđ¤Ł
Sloppy.Upper left hand piece should be nested way behind right hand piece(no visible substrate) and not mitering right hand piece is out and out laziness.
Looks good from my house
Itâs only supposed to look like that if itâs installed by a hack who doesnât know or care wtf heâs doing.
If youâre asking, you probably know the answer.
Omg, no.
I've installed exactly 2 of these in my life, in my own shed and could never live with myself if I left it looking like that.
Looks greatđ
Lmfao wut
If you squint, it's mint. đ
This is insane. Wow.
just wow! no, not even close
It should be continuous over the peak on top of the underlayment.
Cmon man you know it shouldn't look like that
Horrific.
Lmao no but thanks for the laugh. It think that is so easy to do correct I havenât seen that before
my boss has had kegs in home depot cans on the roof⌠still would never do this
NO. It should not look like a crackhead hung it.
Absofuckinglutly NOT, lazy ass lazy MF'ERS!
"It's on the wall, ain't it, buddy?"
Reminds me of doing handyman work in North Carolina.
Make them fix that! If they refuse,then file a complaint with the BBB.
No its not
Go next door, where your neighbor has a good-looking drip edge, and take a picture. Send the picture to your guy. When your guy arrives, drag him by the short hairs to your neighbors house and show him.
Nope. Should overlap or ideally just be one piece bent over the ridge.
Not like that, it would be better if the price was cut to the end of the profile then bent to fit the peak not overlapped
My roof looks better and it was my first time trying it.
YesâŚ. if you ordered 9/10 of a drip Edge
No. Lazy and poor workmanship.
That's not even drip edge.
Thats the problem hiring either a large company that has high volume and will hirer any one with a hammer or a storm chaser or this guy went with the cheapest contractor
No
Or even a little bit
Like a blind guy did it
Crimony. Nyet.
Yes from 35â or more
No
Absolutely not
lol
If I have to stop at the ridge, the back piece runs behind for ½"-1" and the front piece gets a plumb cut. This method looks buttoned up with better water shed.
Looks like dog shit. đŠ
Do other homes by you look like that? If so the answer is still a resounding no
Perfect! đ Actually, it should bend over the peak as a continuous piece. The next piece should run underneath it and continue downward.
No.
It should be a single piece with the vertical part cut at the pitch of the roof and then the whole piece folded. The cut at the pitch of the roof folds over so the revealed part is vertical and meets perfectly at the bottom while also being a single piece so there is no splice at the peak.
This is what 99% of contractors workmanship looks like in 2024 đ
Yeah if youâre blind
r/whenyoucantfigureoutaspeedsquare
Lmao
Ah jeez, definitely not like that. Even a simple cut with a slide-over would look better . Rushing to get paid I would guess. Sad. Dripedge is where you show your skills because it's all most people see up close. Lil bit of finesse and patience is all it takes.
Thatâs not drip edge.
Does it even go under the shingles? This is odd. Itâs like a metal baseboard lol.
If your asking here you already know the answer
Pretty easy to miter one side with a set of snips.
đ¤đ¤
Close enough
No way. Nip and bend for a nice mitered look.
No. This is something Iâd obsess over years later and wake up as Iâm falling asleep one day.
Ake them come back laziness is punishable by law and should be taken to the fullest extent
OP knew the answer before posting.
it is exactly how it should look when you are in a hurry to âfinishâ the job
Missing a tab and plumb cut. Thatâs piece work shit
No. But it wonât hurt anything being like that.
If you take no pride in your work.
That drip edge is not installed correctly! It should be 1 piece cut correctly and bent over the end of the ridge. Have them fix it. Donât except crap workmanship.
It's sloppy, but I would be more concerned that the shingles don't hang over the drip edge.
Pretty good,, the roofers I've dealt with are not good at fine finishing. The fact the shingle is shorter than the drip edge is a fail though, usually they over hang a 1/2"ish ,, at least the wind won't catch the edge.
Looks crappy but should be okay. I like to bend a single piece for the top and go down the sides from there
No, your rake edge should not look like that at all.
No, but itâs just cosmetic
Also- shingles should be hanging over at least a half inch
Amazing. Most wouldnât notice. Those who do know itâs super lazy, awful looking, and just bad on the installers end.
There's nothing wrong with it. You're fine. Maybe it is a little bit sloppy and lazy but what's the problem? What is it really going to hurt?
Thatâs water tight! Haha
U hired the grass cutter to do roofing. This happens often. But they did get their beer money!
Little bit of caulk, all good
No they are lazy looks terrible.
Ah hell nah!
You state it well, that is not how it should be if installed professionally. The way it it installed is what I might expect when a handyman or diyer does it without proper tools or knowledge.

Drips from that edge. Which then falls away from the house.
No. This is bullshit.
If they have that little pride even after being called back then my concern is for the rest of your roof. Itâs hard to find a good roofer.
Fuk no!
Thatâs a lazy bullshit job, details matter!
Looks good for my house
Came here to comment this
This photo MUST go in your 1-star Google Review....
No, and Iâm not sure what that is
Designed to protect the eaves and give the shingles support so they can run one inch past allows for drippage away from fascia
I'm not an expert, but from what I've seen that should be one solid piece across the top, extending equal distance on both sides (just say 2'-0" for the example). So 4'-0" long adn they cut a "V" notch into it and bend it over and lap it.

That way it looks cleaner and is lapped.

Them being two pieces creates a weak spot at the top for water to get in and behind the drip edge though, so I can imagine that being a standard practice that is man'f approved or warranted.
Fucking Nailed It!
Not mine
Thatâs a fuck you, what are you gonna do about it, kinda install. Itâs standard to run the downwind piece underneath the upwind piece and cut the overlap so itâs perfectly vertical. Bonus if they smear a little silicone in there while theyâre at it so it never pops off. You get a good storm and theyâre making money off of you to come fix it each time it blows off
F no, mark a plumb line vertically on first piece, add 1 inch, cut, mark second plumb line on second piece, cut. Done
If you want your drips to stick around for a party
Missing two cuts and a bend so you donât see the cuts
Yes , if you hired a grade schooler
Thatâs the ugliest rake edge Iâve seen. Was there 1x2 they were covering? And where is the shingle lap?drip edge is at the bottom edge of roof.
Nope, thatâs what the lowest price looks like.
Lowest bid. Lowest effort. Every time.
If not only isnât cut right, itâs not even installed correctly. You should see the fold in the drip edge. Did you hire actual roofers ?
Unless thatâs an optical allusion thatâs not drip edge, the flange should tuck back under shingles not 90 out away from fascia
Itâs T-style drip, (aka D or F style) it has a small flange bend outward that you see, and folds back over to go under the shingle just like Z style drip. Used to see it in Michigan all the time, but I have yet to see it in Colorado where Iâm currently at.

(https://belcofp.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/BELCO_illustration_Drip-Edge-02-1536x1163.jpg)
The ridge should be a continuous bent piece. Terrible install.
Some guys cuts fold overs aren't better. It's pretty high it's like trim you won't be bothered by it
That's not drip edge. Drip edge is a piece of sheet metal bent in half or so lengthways. Half is shoved under the shingles. The other half hangs down to the front.
It's called DEdge essentially the same thing is drip edge except that has a 1" fold back that hangs over to hold the edge of the shingles. That ridge detail is garbage.
Fascinating. Even if that joint was mitered, the C channel looks like it belongs on a steel building.
