Hi,

I live in Massachusetts and have a low pitch (2-3) roof over an
addition to the house. At the valley where the low pitch meets a
standard pitch roof, there has been some roof leak problems when there
is a lot of snow. Last year I had a guy lay down some ice and water
shield, but it turns out that it hasn't worked.

I've had a couple of guys come out and offer some solutions. Here are
their recommendations:

(Contractor 1): Rubberize the roof.
(Contractor 2): Rubberize the roof.
(Contractor 3): Use polyglass product which seal the roof like a
rubber product, but offer a textured (granulated surface) that will at
least sorta match the shingles on the roof.

When I look around, it seems that I've noticed many "low pitch" roofs
that don't have "rubberized" roofs. And I've yet to actually see a low
pitch roof w/ rubber. I'm hesitant on putting a pitch black roof on
top since the roof is visible. So i'm leaning towards the polyglass
product, but was wondering has anyone had any experience w/ polyglass?
How about Low Pitch roofs? Is there another solution that I've missed?

The quotes have been all over from less than 2000 to 4500.

The roof area is about 22' x 12'.

Thanks in advanced!

This is Turtle.

The Rubberized roofing is the best , but in my words it must be Brier Roofing
material. Brier Makes Black untextured and textured [ colored ] roll roofing
stuff. They have a 20 years warranty on it and if it fails or leaks but must be
installed correctly. they come and fix it material and labor for nothing. These
repair do include hail damage.
