Stops ice dam leaks at eaves and valleys
With proper barrier installation
Shaddai Home Improvement repairs, replaces, and installs roofs on Massachusetts homes. Twenty five years working through New England winters, ice dams, and the wind driven storms that take roofs apart between November and April.
A roof in Massachusetts works harder than a roof almost anywhere else in the country. Heavy snow loads in January and February, ice dams forming at the eaves, freeze thaw cycles cracking sealant, and the nor'easters that dump rain sideways for three days at a time. When the roof fails, the damage rarely stays on the roof. Water gets into attics, runs down framing, soaks insulation, and shows up as ceiling stains downstairs months later. Shaddai Home Improvement has spent twenty five years installing roofs that handle this climate.
New construction roofing in Massachusetts has to coordinate with the framer, the siding installer, and the gutter crew that follow us on the job. We come in once the deck is sheathed and the framing inspection is signed off. The first layer is ice and water shield at the eaves, valleys, and any roof to wall intersection. Massachusetts code requires this barrier in our climate zone and the warranty on the shingles depends on it. Skipping it on a new build sets up the homeowner for problems.
Roof repair calls usually come in three flavors. Storm damage where wind lifted shingles and water got in. Localized leaks at flashing, vents, or chimneys where the seal failed. Or the slow leak that the homeowner has been ignoring until the ceiling stain finally got too big to ignore. We climb on the roof first to find the actual source. The leak you see inside is rarely directly under the entry point because water travels along the deck and framing before it shows up. We trace it back to the cause.
Massachusetts winters are the test that reveals every shortcut on a roof. Snow accumulates and melts at the warm part of the roof first. The water runs down to the cold eave, refreezes, and forms an ice dam. Water then backs up under the shingles and finds any gap in the underlayment. A roof installed without ice and water shield at the eaves will leak inside the wall almost every winter. A roof installed with proper protection will not. The detail under the shingle is the detail that matters.
A properly installed roof keeps your home dry, your heating bills down, and your structure protected for decades. Here is what professional roofing delivers.
