Hi all,

A section of my roof is a low pitched area. The roofer thats going to work on my roof here in CT, wants to use and ice and water barrier attached to the decking in pretty much the general low sloped area, which is fine before he puts down a shingle. I knw, you should use a shingle on a low pitched roof, generally true, but we have had good experiece with other homes with a pitch 2/12 and using a shingle.

Now, shouldnt they put a tar paper on top of the ice and water barrier before putting shingles down? Wouldnt the shingles fuse themselves eventually to the ice and water barrier, in essence being almost impossible or very difficult to scrape off afterwards?

Your thoughts.

Thanks

Jim
