Edge metal on a Nob Hill roof goes under the underlayment at the eave and over it at the rake. Material is delivered to Nob Hill sites the day it is needed to keep the driveway clear.

In practice, a low-slope section on a Nob Hill property wants a membrane or coating, never shingle laid flatter than it is rated for.
