Abstract:
A method and system for aligning shingles on a roof using alignment marks placed directly on drip edges, limiting the need for stand-alone measurement devices.

Claim (Index 1):
A drip edge, the drip edge comprising:\n flashing configured in the form of a drip edge and having an upper face designed to be visible and upwards-facing upon installation onto a roof; wherein said flashing further is rectangular in shape, having two sets of opposing, parallel edges of equal length wherein adjacent sides are unequal in length, with one set of edges shorter than the other, wherein said flashing further comprises two joining marks, each running parallel to and positioned at the same distance from opposing shorter edges of said flashing, wherein said flashing further comprises a plurality of equally-spaced field shingle layout markings on said upper face, with said spacing measured from a first joining mark parallel to the longer set of edges of said flashing, said field shingle layout markings oriented parallel to the opposing shorter edges of said flashing, and wherein the distance between joining marks is evenly divisible by the number of field shingle layout marks on said upper face of said flashing, resulting in a first field shingle layout mark and a final field shingle layout mark being co-located with said joining marks.
