What is a gutter apron? It's a small, inexpensive strip of flashing that's also one of the most commonly missing or failed pieces on a roof.

Drip edge and gutter apron are often confused, but they protect different parts of your roof. This guide breaks down where each goes, how they differ, and why most roofs actually need both.
