Since it is not required, most roofers will not use it because of the added expense. However, at the end of the day, the best choice for everyone is the choice to use a water proofing underlayment or leak barrier such as ice and water shield in all roofing penetrations and vulnerable areas.

Owens Corning2122 Roofing recommends installing drip edge on all roofs to be covered with asphalt shingles. The drip edge should be installed on top of the underlayment at all rakes, and below the underlayment at all eaves (alternative installation in the Florida Building Code).
In addition to water shielding, North Carolina code doesn't require drip edge. This leaves homes exposed to sideways wind and rain, another major cause of leaks.
A Gutter Apron, also known as L- Metal, is installed above your roof decking and sits over the edge of your gutter. Gutter aprons are installed right under your shingles as well.In most states, it is not required to have a Drip Edge or a Gutter Apron but it is highly recommended.
In actuality the North Carolina construction license exam is more difficult to pass than similar closed book exams due to the fact that you have books available as a resource during the contractor exam. You are permitted to bring certain reference materials into the builder test.
Although subcontractors may be required to obtain certain trade licenses if acting as electricians, plumbers, carpenters, etc., they are not required to have a general contractor's license even if their subcontract is valued at $30,000 or more if they are contracting with a licensed general contractor.
Without a drip edge, water may end up beneath the shingles and may cause damage to various parts of the home. Though your home may not have originally had a drip edge installed, drip edges are now required by most building codes across North America to protect homes from damage.
