What this means for a supplement
The 2021 IRC requires a drip edge at eaves and rakes on asphalt shingle roofs (R905.2.8.5). Where that edition is enforced, a denied drip edge is a code item, not an upgrade.
The 2021 IRC requires an ice barrier from the eave to 24 inches inside the exterior wall line in regions where ice forms at the eaves (R905.1.2).
