We recently built a house and I'm at the point where we need to put on gutters but I need some advice on the drip edge or the flashing.
We have had a handful of estimates and one was higher than the rest and he said it included flashing. I thought the roofers did the flashing and started asking them and checking into it. The other ones said they were going to use the existing drip edge. (Take it off, install the gutters and put it back up inside the gutters. I got looking online and am wondering if we were shortsided when we built the house. The existing drip edge doesn't appear to be like any of the examples I saw online. It doesn't go underneath the shingles but butts up to the bottom side of the shingle, leave the chipboard exposed if you lift up the shingle.
Can someone please tell me if this is normal construction or should I have the gutter guys install the flashing.
Any comments would be sincerely appreciated !
I linked a couple pictures below. The red is the edge of the chipboard. The fuzzy one is the main area of the house where there is a gap between the fascia and the chipboard. Is that normal or did they chinz on the chipboard ?
Thank you !
