Why Accurate Ice & Water Shield Calculations Matter

Incorrectly estimating Ice & Water Shield doesn’t just risk the level of protection on the roof; it opens you up to code compliance issues and less profit.

  • Underestimating coverage leads to leaks, failed inspections, and warranty claims.
  • Overestimating inflates bids and costs you contracts.
  • Ignoring jurisdictional requirements invites fines or rejected permits.
