The roofer who does not install drip edge Will eventually lose their good rating. On the gable ends it is absolutely necessary. Code requires it should be over the gutters as well. Anyone who says that drip edge is a necessary has obviously never repaired rotten facia board. Water can wick backwards and under the shingle, Especially on the gable ends! The shingles should have an inch and a quarter overhang.
I wouldn’t pay anyone to work on my house that doesn’t know how all the parts were together. The first roofer obviously does not get to see what his work creates in the long term.
Exactly
Drip edge always if you have iregularties them it is recommended that you also fix or repair reroofing I mean really if you gonna fix it then you might as well fix it right
