An assembly is disclosed for forming a raised roof edge on a building structure that preferably has a generally horizontal roof and a geneally vertical outer face. The assembly includes a dam member for forming a water dam or gravel stop and a fascia member. Preferably, the dam member is a one-piece structure, including a clamping and retention portion and a vertical intermediate portion, and biases and secures the fascia member into a relatively tight and rattle-free interlocking installation on the dam member. Preferably, a roofing material is gripped and held against the dam member as a result of the biasing forces of the clamping and retention portion and the intermediate dam portion. The roof edge assembly thereby provides an improved water dam or gravel stop structure that securely retains the roofing material on the roof of the building structure without penetrating the roofing material, at least along the roof surface. Also, because the roof edge assembly is adapted for installation on roof structures employing roofing pavers or other such roof-covering devices, and preferably anchors and retains the roofing pavers, the roof edge assembly of the present invention features increased stability and resistance to uplift forces in comparison to more conventional roof edge assemblies.

An assembly for forming a raised roof edge on a building structure having a generally horizontal roof surface and a plurality of roof paving blocks on the horizontal roof surface, said assembly comprising: a dam member, and anchoring means for anchoring said dam member to the building structure generally adjacent an edge of the horizontal roof surface; a fascia member installable on said dam member; and said dam member further including a generally vertical lower dam portion, a generally vertical intermediate dam portion extending in a generally upward direction, a generally transverse dam portion interconnecting said generally vertical lower dam portion and said vertical intermediate dam portion, and a flange portion interlockingly engageable with the fascia member when said fascia member is installed on the building structure, said vertical intermediate dam portion engaging the roof paving blocks and forming a stop for horizontally retaining the roof paving blocks, said dam member further including clamping means and retention means as a one-piece member with said dam member for securing said fascia member relative to said dam member when said fascia member is installed on said dam member, said clamping and retention means urging said fascia member generally against said dam member, said clamping and retention means further overlapping and biasing the roof paving blocks against the horizontal roofing surface at least in an area generally adjacent the edge of the horizontal roof surface.
