Hi,

I am getting reroofing bids for my 25 year old house, and I have
gotten conflicting advice regarding installation of drip edge.

The first roofer told me he does not recommend installing it because
it is not necessary when the shingles are installed properly, and can
cause the shingles not to lay straight if the underlying roof
structure has irregularities.

The second roofer said that was nonsense, and they always install
drip edge.
Both of these roofers have highest ratings in a local consumer ratings
service (Washington Checkbook).

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Both ways work when done properly. I would suggest that if a specific
contractor has had good experience with one and poor experience with the
other, only a fool would tell them to use the method they have had problems
with in the past.
