What you are looking at
The hips on this roof run to a clean point, and the caps lay over each hip in even overlapping pieces. Every cap overlaps the one below it so water steps down the hip instead of running into the seam.
We put new metal drip edge along the eaves. It holds the shingle edge straight and turns water off the roof into the gutter, so it does not wick back under the shingles and rot the deck boards.
The drip edge is a small detail, and it is the line the homeowner sees every time they pull into the driveway. It goes on straight and tight to the fascia.
