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

For what purpose?Â*Â* 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.

More fool you. The metal roofs last FAR longer.

Mine is 50 years old now and is as good as when new.


BULL****


Fact actually. Like that or lump it.



I've never seen paint exposed to direct sunlight look "like new" after 50 years.
