1. Ice and Water Shield
Protection for Vulnerable Areas
Designed to prevent leaks from wind-driven rain and ice dams. Ice and water shield is especially effective on low slopes, flashing areas and in valleys. Ice and water shield is required as a valley liner and also recommended for open valleys.
A Quality Ice and Water Shield Will Help:
- Create a 100% watertight seal that keeps water out at the most vulnerable areas of your roof
- Protect your home by preventing costly repairs due to wall or ceiling staining
2. Roofing Felt
A Secondary Barrier against leaks
Roofing felt provides a protective water-resistant layer over your roof deck. Reinforced with fiber glass for exceptional wrinkle and tear resistance.
Quality Roofing Felt:

4. Proper Attic Ventilation
Proper attic ventilation systems allow a continuous flow of outside air through the attic helping lower temperatures in the living space. It consists of a balance between air intake (at your eaves or soffits) and air exhaust (at or near your roof ridge). The FHA (Federal Housing Administration) recommends a minimum of at least 1 square foot of attic ventilation (both intake and exhaust) for every 300 square feet of attic space. For example, if your attic is 900 square feet, you need a total of 3 square feet of ventilation. This amount is generally divided equally between intake and exhaust ventilation (i.e., 11/2 feet of each), to insure proper air flow through the attic.
5. Hip and Ridge Cap Shingles
The perfect finishing touch for your new roof should be a distinctive ridge cap shingle. This feature provides a striking and higher quality alternative to using cut-up strip shingles as your ridge cap.
