Some homes, like those with flat roofs, may not have eaves at all.

Homes without eaves often have specific types of gutters affixed directly to the edge of the roof to provide adequate drainage.

Depending on the condition of your roof, you may be able to add flashing to it. If you’re looking for a way to maintain its integrity while saving some money, you should ask a roofing pro if this is an option. Keep in mind that if your roof is in poor shape, a full replacement may be necessary before flashing is installed.
