Water drips behind gutters down the fascia and soffit because the leaf guards that acted as drip edge were removed, and the homeowner needs a permanent drip edge or gutter apron but is unsure what is currently installed.

Homeowner is unsure if existing flashing is a drip edge and needs guidance on selecting and installing the correct drip edge or apron to prevent water damage.
