Roofing - drip edges, venting, etc?

Filed Under roofing 

PeteInNashville asked:

I have hail damage and the insurance will be paying for a replacement roof. I am looking for a good roofing contractor in the Franklin/Nashville TN area. Also, if anyone has any insight on such things as drip edges. They seem to rarely be put on new houses yet the shingle manufacturers include them in their installation instructions. Are they really required? Any other gotchas or things to ask people that give bids to do work? Thanks.
