Hello I am new here and I need some advice. I am in the process of selling our home. I installed the roof myself about a year ago and through the inspection process I am now aware of a mistake I made.
I am by no means a roofer but I have installed a couple in my lifetime.
When I installed the roof I did not have the shingles hang over the edge of the fascia board. My shingles are even with the edge of the roof and apparently this can cause water to run back up under the shingles.
How can I fix this? Can I install drip edge to alleviate the problem? Is it possible to re roof the bottom row and hang them over the edge?

Austin, I would advise against trying to reroof the bottom course of shingles because all other courses line up off of it. Go buy some sytle "D" drip edge and carefully install it under the starter shingle. That should provide enough extension to get water into the gutter. Drip edge is relatively inexpensive about 4-5 dollars for a 10 ft stick. Hope this helps.
Now, if you install them properly you should be able to lift up the edges towards the end; look for some shingle extenders at home depot and nailed these underneath them... remember to caulk the tops of the nails.
