Do you install drip edge before tar paper?

Installing roof drip edge flashing properly

The best way is to install the roof drip edge only along the eaves first, then place ice-and-water barrier (in the snowbelt) or felt paper (underlayment) over the drip edge. This lets any water that gets on the roof run down the underlayment and over the drip edge.

Does drip edge go above or below tar paper?

At the side, or gabels, of a roof, the drip edge goes over the roofing felt. At the bottom of the roof, the drip edge goes under the roofing felt.

Does drip edge go on before fascia?

The correct placement of a roof drip edge is on top of the roof's exterior cover directly between the sheathing and the fascia board, which forms a drainage gap between the drip edge and the fascia board. As a result, the drainage improves water flow and protects the roof from potential water damage.

Do you install drip edge before or after shingles?

The most popular time to install a drip edge is when new shingles are installed. However, the drip edge can be installed at any time. The materials involved include: a ladder, a flat pry bar, a hammer, tin snips, eave stripping, and galvanized roofing nails.

How far should shingles overhang drip edge?

Shingles should not extend more than 3/4” (19 mm) past the drip edge. If shingles overhang the edge of the roof by more than 3/4” (19 mm), then they are not supported and may crack and break off. In addition, the wind resistance at the roof edge may be compromised.

Ice and water protector needs to be installed directly onto the roof deck after you have placed the drip edge at the eave. (The drip edge will be installed over the ice and water protector and other underlayments at roof rake edges.)

Does roof sheathing go over fascia?

When sheathing a roof, the first step is to snap a line so that the first row goes on straight. But if you snap it at 40 inches, then the sheathing will not project over the subfascia or true fascia. This opens the door to the possibility of water damage by letting gravity work against you.

Do you need to tar paper under shingles?

Does flashing go under shingles?

All shingle manufacturers require step flashing at sidewalls for both asphalt, wood and slate. If you see continuous, one-piece flashing like this used as sidewall flashing with shakes, shingles or slate, it's a defective installation, no matter how often you see it.

Do you put tar paper over ice shield?

Ice and water shield need to be installed before other underlayments, including roofing felt. Tar paper compared to ice and water shield do not stick to anything, whereas ice and water shields are a rubberized membrane that is very sticky to create a waterproof barrier to standing water if installed correctly.

Is it OK to put ice and water shield on entire roof?

That said, you can cover your entire roof with an ice and water shield, and it could help prevent leaks if you live in an area with extreme winds. But if you do, make sure you also add a ventilation system to your attic to prevent condensation.
