If you place underlayment over the eave trim but over the existing underlayment, doesn’t that mean water will get under the eave trim since the overlapping is opposite what it should be, that way water runs over the underlayment? Like, installing underlayment starts at The lowest side of the pitch and you work up, that way water runs down over the existing underlayment, then at the end, now there would be underlayment running over what was there…. Also, do you have to use narrow eave flashing with gutters, or can you use wide eave flashing?
If you were to add gutters to that roof, would you tuck the gutters underneath (or behind) the eave trim? Or, would you install the gutters in front of the eave trim? Seems like the latter would defeat the entire purpose of the kick out on the eave trim aka drip edge, but.....?????
The best way to do it is to add the gutters prior to installation of the panels. That is called a pre-hung box gutter. It serves the purpose of both a gutter and the eave trim. If the panels are already installed and you add a gutter after the fact than you install a post-hung box butter. Pre-hung is a better solution.
@WesternStatesMetalRoofing Okay, our gutters were added a few weeks after roof install (not by your company); were placed in front of eave trim (that has a kick out) resulting in the gutters NOT being flush w/ the fascia and trim. They actually have an angled offset of about 1" causing overflow diverted directly at the foundation's base ...imagine a coffee cup w/ shims placed underneath on one side; such install technique would seem to be against industry standard and/or manufacturer install instructions
@@darrenblanchard6232 Here's a video on post-hung gutters. th-cam.com/video/CCB6b69FNmY/w-d-xo.html Anything beyond this is between you and your installer. If it was my roof the gutters would have been pre-hung. I have helped all I can especially as you did not buy the material from me. Hope this was helpful.
@@WesternStatesMetalRoofing Ok, gutters were on the contract (and quotes) and contractor chose to install them after roof was placed. There was no post-hung box gutter. Appears they employed an install method that's not in tune w/ industry standard. Nor do I think these gutters are designed for metal roof use. I would like to send pictures to get an opinion; how do I do that?
Thanks for the video from Davenport Iowa 👍
Very clear and precise video! Thanks a lot :)

Wondering what fastening screw was used??? Hardware info is very important. Please include all pertinent details next time.
