do you need to cut up 2' of siding to install ice and water shield?

For what purpose? Around here it's installed on roofs to protect
against
ice damming.
And per code it has to be installed up the roof plane from the
lower edge
until
it's 2 feet past the inside heated space below. Maybe that's
where your
2 feet is
coming from?

Here they want the membrane to cover the entire roof.
This is what I needed on my addition.

It is so, when the hurricane blows the shingles off, you still have a
roof.

Makes a lot more sense to have metal decking instead of stupid
shingles.

About $20 thousand more.

BULL****.


I priced a hidden-fastner metal roof install and it was twice the cost
of the GAF Timberline shingles. Guess which I chose.


Did the same about 20 years ago. Made no sense to spend that much more.
If I were told that my lifetime and the roofs were the same, I'd go
for the metal roof.


I have about 20 years to go before I die, maybe a bit more. Why should I
pay for a roof that will outlive me by 50 years?


Yeah, that was kinda my point. I would like to think that I have 20
years but I know I don't have 50. I highly doubt that I'll have even
20 living in this house.


I fully expect the roofing here - house and all outbuildings have the
same green 5 rib steel - to outlast me . But dammit , I'm gonna give it
a run for the money ! I figger the longer I stay active the longer I'll
last . Cutting 4 to 6 cords of firewood every year is a good start on
that .
