The answer to 'why is my drip edge curling shingles' is that the drip edge is not properly installed or secured, causing the shingles to curl up at the edges. This can happen if the drip edge is too short, not overlapped correctly, or not nailed down tightly enough.
Curling shingles can lead to leaks, water damage, and other roofing issues if not addressed. The drip edge plays a critical role in directing water away from the roof's edge, so it's important to ensure it's installed correctly.
Closely examine the drip edge along the roof's edge to identify where it's curling or not installed correctly.
Carefully remove the nails or screws holding down the curling drip edge sections.
Ensure the new drip edge is the proper length, overlapped correctly, and securely fastened with nails or screws every 12 inches.
To fix curling drip edge, you'll need to remove the affected section and re-install it properly, ensuring the edge is long enough, overlapped correctly, and securely nailed down.
If the curling drip edge is extensive or you're not comfortable working on your roof, it's best to call a professional roofer to inspect and repair the issue.
