Expert Drip Edge in Central Ohio
Drip edge is a metal flashing strip installed along the eaves and rakes of your roof. It directs water off the roof edge and into the gutters, away from your fascia and roof deck. Without it, water works behind the fascia, softens the decking, and causes rot that spreads quietly over time. Hilliard homes face a tough four-season cycle: heavy summer thunderstorms, wind-driven rain, and winter freeze-thaw swings that push moisture into any unprotected edge. Ohio's residential building code now requires drip edge on new and replacement roofs for this reason. Older homes across Hilliard, Dublin, and the surrounding Columbus metro often lack it or have sections that have lifted or corroded. Upside Roofing & Siding is a local, family-owned business with more than 20 years of experience in building, roofing, and remodeling. We inspect every roof edge before installation and fit drip edge correctly so your whole roofing system performs the way it should. Call us to schedule a roof edge inspection.

FAQ
Drip Edge FAQ
Common questions about drip edge in Central Ohio.
Yes. Many older homes in Hilliard were built before drip edge became a code requirement and do not have it. Adding drip edge protects your fascia and roof deck from the water damage that builds up over time.
In many cases, yes. A qualified roofer can install drip edge on a pre-existing roof by carefully lifting the shingle edges and underlayment at the perimeter.
Look for paint peeling on the fascia, soft or stained wood at the roof edge, or gutters pulling away from the house. These are common signs that water is getting behind the drip edge or that it is missing altogether.
Drip edge helps reduce ice-related edge damage by giving water a clean path off the roof instead of letting it pool and refreeze against the fascia. It works as part of a complete roofing system, not as a standalone ice dam solution.
At the eaves, drip edge goes on the bare deck before the underlayment. At the rakes, it goes over the underlayment. Correct sequencing is what makes it work, and it is one of the details our team checks on every job across Hilliard and the surrounding area.
Yes. Upside Roofing & Siding serves homeowners across Hilliard, Powell, Westerville, Dublin, Columbus, Upper Arlington, and several other communities in the Central Ohio area.
