Ice and water shield is a self-adhering, waterproof roofing membrane installed beneath your shingles, metal panels, or specialty roof materials. Its purpose is to protect vulnerable areas from leaks if water works its way past the outer roofing surface.
At Luxe Roofing, we install three main types:
Granular (Sand-Surface) – Most economical; used in roof valleys for added protection.
Smooth Surface – More flexible; ideal for low-slope areas and intricate details.
High Heat – Durable, cotton-like backing; perfect for metal roofs or high-temperature zones.
Ice and water shield is applied strategically, not randomly. Key areas include:
Roof valleys where large volumes of water flow
Around penetrations such as chimneys, vents, and skylights
Along walls where the roof meets siding or dormers
Low-slope roof sections (pitch 4/12 or below)
Eaves in cold or snowy climates to prevent ice dam damage (often required by code)
Not always. Full coverage is typically only necessary in special situations:
Costs vary based on material type, roof size, and local market conditions. As a general guide:
Granular – From $60 per roll (3 ft. by 33 ft.)
Smooth surface – From $100 per square (100 sq. ft.)
High heat – $125+ per square
While it adds to your roof investment, skipping ice and water shield can lead to repairs costing thousands in the future.
Because even the most beautiful, high-end roof is only as strong as its weakest point. This membrane works silently beneath the surface, acting as your home’s last line of defense against water intrusion.
Unfortunately, some contractors cut costs by leaving out critical components like ice and water shield. As a Marine Corps veteran–owned company, Luxe Roofing builds to a higher standard—fortifying every roof with the protection it needs, not just the bare minimum the code requires.
We believe your roof should be:
Beautifully designed for curb appeal
Structurally fortified for long-term performance
Fully protected with every essential layer, including ice and water shield
