end of the day, we protect them
with waterproofing and tarps.

up once in a while. Although we
do everything possible to ensure

we’re there to make good.

3. The roof over your head is more
than just the shingles; it’s a
complex waterproofing system.
Roof deck
Eaves protection
Underlayment
Flashings
Proper Ventilation
Quality Shingles
ROOFING SYSTEM COMPONENTS
Even the Best Shingles Won’t Help if Your Roof
Deck Isn’t Properly Inspected & Repaired First
A quality roof replacement project
is possible only if the roof deck
(sheathing) is sound. Depending
on a number of factors, your roof
deck may have been damaged
by moisture.
Some problems may be found on
inspection but other damage may
only come to light after the old
shingles are torn off.
We know you don’t like surprises,
so our quotes include repairing a
32 square feet of decking at no
extra charge.

4. Without proper roof eaves protection, the Life
of Your Roof will be dramatically shortened
Your roof eaves are vulnerable to ice buildup and the resulting water
penetration. They are the coldest part of your roof since they are not warmed
by heat escaping from your home into the attic.
Melted snow may run down the roof towards the eaves and gutter. Because
the roof eaves are colder, the water may refreeze and cause the formation of
ice dams. Water can back up under the roof shingles or behind the fascia
boards.
The results can include damage to your attic, ceilings, walls, and floors of your
home. The additional moisture will also decrease the effectiveness of your
insulation. Premium Ice and Water shield helps to protect your home and the
valuable contents inside from this threat.

5. Our superior, synthetic underlayment
will Increase the lifespan of your new roof
The Iron Shield Roofing System starts with a heavy eaves protector that
serves as a moisture barrier and prevents your roof surface from rotting. We
then apply a quality roofing underlayment to the balance of your roof surface
to waterproof your roof in case the shingles are penetrated by severe weather
or ice dams.
Synthetic Underlayment serves as secondary-level protection against leaks
and will provide many years of protection if all other elements of a good
roofing system are in place.
Your quote always includes Rhino Roof underlayment 25 x Stronger than
15 lb roofing felt.

6. Roof flashings prevent damage from water
leaks and ice buildup
It’s important that all roof flashing be inspected before the roofing is started.
Your existing flashing may be in good shape but, if it needs to be replaced, you
should know ahead of time.
Roof flashing is vital in these areas:
Chimneys
Skylights
Roof/wall intersections
The Vents, Pluming Flashings and Goose Neck Vents will always be replaced
as a standard practice with Iron Shield Roofing.

7. Drip Edge
The drip edge is installed on the perimeter of
the roof along the eaves and provides an
added level of waterproofing.
Drip edge deflects water into your
eavestroughs, rather than between the
eavestroughs and fascia, where it can damage
the fascia board.
Drip edge also helps protect the roof deck
from unnecessary exposure to water.
Covers any gaps between the roof deck and
the fascia boards caused by movement due to
weather changes
Adds support to the first row of shingles
* Drip edge protection is not required by
Alberta building code and will be included
in your quote as an option. So you can
compare pricing to our competitors apples

Valleys
Valleys on your roof deserve special attention
as they naturally deal with more water runoff
than the rest of the roof.
There are two types of valley construction –
closed valleys and open valleys. Closed valleys
have shingles covering the valley, while open
valleys have a gap between the shingles on
either side, with metal in the valley.
Both types are permitted by the Alberta
building code. Open metal valleys provide
superior and more durable protection,
however there is an associated cost.
* Your quote will include open metal valleys
as an upgrade option. So you can compare
pricing to our competitors apples to apples
