| You can, if you have a brake. It's called a drip edge.

I meant bend the aluminum rake trim to fit under the shingles.
it is called "rake trim"

| | There are different types of drip edge. Do _not_ let anyone
install a

| | channel drip edge, under any circumstances. I could write pages on
why
| not
| | to have this type of drip edge. Even in my area, city localities
will
| not
| | let this type of drip edge installed.
|
|
| sometimes for the right application "C" channel is needed, it all
| depends on the trim.
| for instance, on a bitumen roof application it hides the nailing
strip
| around the perimeter.
|
| Ut oh, I think I smell a butcher.
|
| I am a firm believer in drip edge for the bottom so it overlaps the
| fascia board
| but not on the rake boards unless it is a re-roof (it hides the
edges of
| the original roof nicely).
|
| It is, it's a butcher. Someone to lazy to trim edges. I've seen
hundreds of
| your kind in my days. The faces change, the name remains the same,
butcher.
