ok im tryin to peace together yalls puzzle.
is this fasha cover meant to be used with no eve drip?
if thats the case and the h/o wants you to put evedrip on instead of just hangin the shingles over the edge, then you have to be a little smarter than the alum fasha cover and cut the lip off so the evedrip can lay flat against the fasha cover.

the fasha cover we in t.b. use is just a J channel that
doesnt come with a lip at the top for people who dont use eve drip.

I am having my roof re-roofed with asphalt shingles. The builder installed a fascia cover (alum) with a 1" flange bend where the fascia meets the shingles. (The fasica profile looks like an "S") I suppose this flange is to act as a drip edge. With my new roof I wanted a drip edge installed but the roofing contractor is installing the new drip edge over top of this flange. This flange is keeping the drip edge from butting flush against the fascia. I think this an incorrect installation -the flange should be cutoff first or the fascia be replaced. What do you think?


what is the problem here? I don't get it? I dont care what or why, the fascia is below my job and therefore extra if specified. If the roof is draining onto metal and it is properly ventilated (no ice dams) how is this a leak? the most basic roofing contract in the world will win this case for the contractor since the roof will serve its useful purpose. Aesthetics are a gratuity a contractor may supply you, but most likely you will pay for it. I personally think that so far you are getting too involved. No offense.

were im at when your done with the roof. the fasha up has to look good.
so if for whatever reason the fasha to evedrip relation doesnt look good,
you have to charge to fix fasha, so it will look good.
thats how it is in this neck of the woods.
