sorry it has taken this long to respond! Im new to blogging. My Father lives in Wisconsin and hires someone to remove the snow off roof every year or you can install heated cables(De-icing system to keep the ice off your roof.

I live in the Falmouth Maine area. I recently puhscared a home with a low sloped roof and it is leaking. I was hoping to get some advice on how to repair the leak myself. Here is the situation: The roof is a low sloped dormer with a shed roof. It only leaks in winter when snow is present and the days are warm and nights are cold. I assume the ice is backing up under the the three tab shingles. I was hoping I could tear the three tabs off and Grace Ice and Water Shield the entire roof deck and use architectural shingles instead of rolled roofing. I really don't like the looks of rolled roofing and the roof is seen often, as it downhill of the road. Please give me your comments on the pros and cons of what I would like to do. ThanksMark
