Residential Drip Edge
Drip Edge Installation for St. Louis Homes
As a homeowner in the St. Louis area, you know how unpredictable the weather can be. Heavy rain, snow, and ice can put a strain on your roof and gutters. That’s where drip edge installation comes in.Â
A drip edge is a simple yet effective roofing accessory that protects your home from water damage. It directs rainwater away from the roofline and into the gutters, helping to prevent leaks, fascia damage, and even mold growth. When properly installed, a drip edge ensures water is channeled efficiently, providing your home with extra protection.

What is a Drip Edge?
A drip edge is a metal strip installed along the edge of your roof that guides rainwater into the gutter system rather than allowing it to seep into the fascia or behind the gutters. Without a drip edge, water can slowly deteriorate your roof and siding, leading to long-term damage.Â
Drip edges come in a variety of colors and materials, including copper and aluminum, so you can choose a drip edge that blends seamlessly with your home’s exterior.
Why Do You Need a Drip Edge?
In the St. Louis area, where heavy rain, snow, and ice are common, a drip edge is an essential part of preventing water damage. Drip edges are important for:
- Making sure water flows properly into your gutters, and not into your home’s fascia or foundation
- Preventing ice dams that can form in winter when melted snow refreezes at the roof’s edge, blocking water
- Preventing gutter problems that occur during storms like overflow and water damage along the roof line
Without a drip edge, your home is at greater risk for leaks, water damage, and mold.

The project manager, Chris Jezik, was great to work with. He listened to my issues and questions and explained everything that needed to be done in detail showing pictures of the visible issues with my roof. It was a pleasure working with him.
The dreaded roof problem was handled so thoroughly and thoughtfully. All situations explained. We had animals entering our attic. I called many companies and Ferguson responded. I am so grateful.
Jeff Houran was extremely thorough and explained our roof problem very clearly. He also looked at areas I had not thought of and identified things that would have caused us problems in the near future. His timely response to my call is also greatly appreciated. Great job!
We didn't realize we needed a new roof until water was leaking into our kitchen during a major rainstorm. Ferguson responded quickly, made major repairs, and replaced our roof and gutters with much better quality materials. They did a great job!
They did a great job and were very transparent through the entire project for cost, schedule, etc.
Alex Hendel and Adam Brinker went above and beyond to take care of us. Thanks for your commitment to good work, Ferguson Roofing!
