msteger Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Never saw this until today.. 2 year old home that looks like the roofer bent the metal fascia as to also incorporate a rake edge. The shingle overhang is approx. 2". Something new or bad quality? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bain Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Do you mean the aluminum trim coil was bent at a ninety-degree angle? The siding guy would have done that, not the roofer. I see that fairly often, as it makes for a much neater edge, and assures that the wood beneath the metal is fully covered. Two inches would look pretty ludicrous. Around here, there's usually only a 1/2 inch or so that extends beneath the shingles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randynavarro Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Imagine maybe: 8" metal; bend a 2" or 3" leg, tuck the 2" or 3" leg under the paper at the starter course and the remaining 5" or 6" drops vertical for the fascia? If that's the case, I wouldn't have a concern. Seems kinda smart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspectorjoe Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Matthew, is this what you're referring to? Image Insert: 49.5 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msteger Posted September 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Hi Joe: Similar to your photo above, but the rake edge is a little longer and comes out at more of a 90 deg angle (right underneath the shingle edge). In your photo above, the edge seems to come out at maybe a 60 deg angle upwards. The rake edge that I am talking about appears to be simply a 90 deg bend along the top edge of the metal fascia and runs underneath the overhanging shingles.
