It is essential to have an Ice and Water Shield installed on your roof. It will not only protect against water damage and decrease the possibility of leaks, it will also enhance your roof’s lifespan. The Ice and Water Shield provides an extra layer defense to the roofs most vulnerable areas: eaves and valleys, roofing vents, skylights and around the chimney. The damage in these areas is caused by ice damming, wind-driven rains and backed up gutters. These shields are usually offered as an “additional feature,” but we strongly recommend that you have the Ice and Water Shield installed!

What is Ice and Water Shield?
The Ice and Water Shield is a thin rubberized asphalt membrane that defends your roof from cold and severe weather conditions. Exposure to extreme elements, such as heavy rains, strong winds and winter storms, is the most common cause of roofing leaks. This peel and stick shield adds an extra waterproof barrier to your roof deck that prevent leaks and stops water from seeping into your home.
