Re-pitching your gutters is a relatively easy problem to spot and fix. Your gutters are installed on a slight slope (pitch) so that the water can drain towards the downspouts. Fascia is the board your gutters is attached to. A fascia board holds the gutters in place and prevents moisture from entering the roof and causing damage.
The underside of an overhang, when given a finished appearance, is known as the soffit, which means "something fixed underneath". The soffit is basically, any finishing material, such as wood, vinyl, aluminum or fiber cement, that is installed to cover the underside of your roof overhang. A drip edge is an angled piece of flashing that is installed over top of a fascia board.
The purpose of a drip edge is to help redirect water from the fascia and into the gutters. First and foremost, there is no such thing as "NEVER CLEAN YOUR GUTTERS AGAIN". This is a phrase that is thrown around our industry very loosely. A lot of companies use this phrase, but what they don't tell you is the GUARD has to be cleaned.
