Last summer there was a discussion thread on the merits of drip edge flashing. I am seeing locally a lot of DYI type of flashing incuded in aluminum fascia wrapping. The aluminum wrap is started behind the fascia, wrapped under, up, and started and taken back over the top. BUT, instead of doing a standard finish on the wrap, the aluminum is bent back at an acute angle to meet the bottom of the shingle overhang. There is no other drip edge flashing. I personally don't see where this would do the same job of as a good HD preformed flashing as intended by the shingle manufaturers and IRC 2006.

The picture shows the wrap job from the front. The gutter had not been installed when this construction inspection was made. Comments?
