Gutter, Drip Edge, and Flashing Repair for Dallas Homes
Many 'roof leaks' are really edge problems: water backing up behind a gutter or slipping past bent flashing.

How the edge should work
Drip edge guides water off the shingles into the gutter. Gutters carry it to downspouts. Flashing seals where the roof meets walls and chimneys.
Signs of trouble
Look for these clues around the edge.
- Rotting fascia boards
- Water stains on brick below the roofline
- Gutters pulling away
- Rusty or caulk-only flashing
Fix order
Fix flashing and drip edge before re-hanging gutters, so new gutters are not hung on rotted boards.
Common questions
- Is caulk enough for flashing?
- Caulk is a short-term patch. Proper flashing is layered metal that sheds water on its own.
- Do I need gutter guards?
- They help under heavy trees. They still need checking.
