My gutters are fine...my roof is a hip-roof with gutters all around.
DO I GO WITH NEW RIDGE & DRIP EDGE or keep old?
Cost is not a big deal... its- do i create a future loose gutter issue by removing them and rehanging for a new drip edge?
And with a new Ridge Vent apparently the aluminum vents dont get shingled and look less attractive?
((This is what im being told to consider))
conflicting advice within the trades is par for the course
if i was replacing a new roof I would go with new everything..but that's me
