Why do you recommend an ice and water shield?

An ice and water shield is exactly what it sounds like! It’s a shield to guard against areas that are leak-prone, such as eaves, valleys, chimney flashings, and skylight flashings.

We recommend that an ice and water shield be installed in each of these places to protect your roof from ice dams and wind-driven rain. For extra protection, we go 6 ft at the eaves with ice and water.
