Скачать или смотреть Roofing Detail That Makes a Big Difference

One of the most common issues we run into? Shingle overhangs that aren’t installed correctly.

Here’s the rule of thumb:
➡️ With drip edge: shingles should only extend about ½ inch past the trim.
➡️ Without drip edge: they can go up to ¾ inch.

On this home, the overhang is 1¼ inches — much too far. That means the nails aren’t properly secured into the plywood, leaving the shingles vulnerable. Instead of staying put during strong winds, they’re more likely to get ripped right off the roof.

At Trident, we pay attention to these details because small mistakes can cause big problems down the road.
