Drip Edge Flashing & Roof Edge Protection in Tallahassee, FL

The edges of your roof take a beating during Florida storms. Without proper drip edge flashing, water can run behind your gutters, seep into your fascia and soffits, and cause rot, leaks, and structural damage.

At Tallahassee Gutter Services, we install, repair, and upgrade roof drip edge flashing to ensure water flows into the gutter, not behind it.

This is one of the most overlooked—but most important—parts of the roof system.

What is Drip Edge Flashing?

Drip edge is a thin metal strip installed at the edge of your roof. It:

  • Directs water into the gutter instead of behind it

  • Protects the fascia from direct water exposure

  • Strengthens the roof edge

  • Prevents wind-driven rain from getting under shingles

  • Helps keep pests and rodents out

Without drip edge, gutters often backflow or leak behind the fascia—destroying the wood over time.

Why Drip Edge Matters in Tallahassee

Florida’s rain doesn’t fall straight down. High winds blow water sideways, up, and under shingles. Proper drip edge helps stop:

  1. Water entering the soffit

  2. Rotting fascia

  3. Mold growth

  4. Edge shingle lifting

  5. Water intrusion under the roof deck

Many older Tallahassee homes were built before drip edge was required. We fix that.
