DIFFERENT STYLES OF COVER BOARDS

When I told them they were supposed to have replaced the original drip edge/ gutter apron before they started to reshingle (per the insurance and contract) they stated they would put a new drip edge under the shingles but on top of the new ice and water shield so it would cover (hide) the original drip edge/gutter apron and it would be “extra protection” (their words), because we still had the original aluminum drip edge and now this new aluminum over the top of it. I have never heard of this before and when I asked if it will pass code if I called and asked the building inspector to stop by they began a bunch of double talk. They actually started to cut the old gutter apron off at the bend where it comes out from under the ice and water shield and bends down into the gutter, making the situation worse and told them to stop. We offer a full range of quality capping boards and full replacement boards from 9mm and 16mm to 22mm jumbo boards to ensure that your roofline not only looks great but is also low maintenance. Soffit boards and bearers should be similarly inspected and replaced or supplemented. New timbers should provide support which is at least the equal of that required for new-build work. First, for a 1×6″ Fascia Board, we would first measure and cut the aluminum into 7 inch strips. (9″ for 1×8″, 11″ for 1×10″, etc…)
