Drip edging or gutters

Question

In a new construction home in Massachusetts, the constructor has installed a drip edging on all eaves and gables. Can this replace the need for the installation of a gutter, or is it still necessary for a gutter to be installed?

Answer 1

2 different functions. drip edge: keep water from running back under the shingles. gutters: keep water from the roof running straight down the sides of your foundation. definitely recommend gutters also.

Hope that helps.
