Tbh I've been doing roof work on the side for about 3 years now and I keep seeing guys throw regular felt on flat shed roofs or small garages without any ice and water shield near the eaves. Last month I helped a buddy replace his garden shed roof that was only 5 years old and the plywood was totally rotted under the felt because water got trapped under ice dams. I asked him who installed it and he said some handyman off Kijiji. It costs maybe 60 bucks extra for a roll of ice and water shield and it would have saved him 400 in plywood and labor. Why are people so cheap about this one detail? Has anyone else noticed how many small buildings around the GTA are just asking for leaks because of this?
We have a badly leaking skylight in our master bath that needs a full replacement. I've narrowed it down to two companies: Toronto Skylight Installers and GTA Skylight Experts. Has anyone used either of these? Would love to hear some pros and cons before I sign a contract.
