Premium Roof Replacement Built for Welland's Harsh Winter Weather

At Ace 1 Quality Roofing, Siding & Eavestroughs, every roof we install is designed to provide homeowners with lasting protection, exceptional performance, and peace of mind. This featured project took place in Welland, Ontario, where our experienced crew completed a full roof replacement while incorporating one of our most recommended upgrades—a 6-foot ice and water shield at the eaves.

With the challenging winter conditions experienced throughout Welland and the Niagara Region, this homeowner wanted additional protection against ice damming and water infiltration. Our team recommended extending the ice and water shield beyond the standard installation requirements to provide superior defence against harsh winter weather.

Why We Installed a 6-Foot Ice & Water Shield

Many roofing systems include ice and water protection at the roof's edge, but homes with roof overhangs greater than 12 inches often benefit from additional coverage.

For this Welland roofing project, we installed 6 feet of premium ice and water shield, extending well beyond the home's interior wall line. This provides a much larger waterproof barrier where snow and ice are most likely to cause problems during the winter months.

Benefits of the Upgrade

• Superior protection against ice damming

• Helps prevent water from backing up beneath shingles

• Extends waterproof protection beyond minimum building code requirements

• Ideal for homes with larger roof overhangs

• Added defence against harsh Niagara winters

• Helps protect the roof deck and interior of the home from costly water damage

• Provides homeowners with greater long-term peace of mind

Understanding Ice Damming

Ice dams occur when heat escaping from the attic melts snow on the roof. As the water flows toward the colder eaves, it refreezes and creates a barrier of ice. Additional melting snow then backs up behind the ice dam, allowing water to work underneath shingles and potentially leak into the home.

Installing a 6-foot ice and water shield creates an additional waterproof layer beneath the shingles, helping protect the home even if water backs up during severe winter conditions.

Following the recent winter season in Welland, many homeowners have experienced firsthand how damaging ice dams can become. That's why Ace 1 Quality Roofing now proudly offers this upgrade as an optional enhancement for homeowners looking for added protection.

Complete Roofing System Installation

This project involved much more than simply replacing shingles. Our skilled installers followed a comprehensive installation process to ensure every component of the roofing system performs together.

Our work included:

• Complete removal of the existing roof

• Thorough inspection of the roof deck

• Installation of premium roofing underlayment

• 6-foot ice and water shield installation at the eaves

• Proper flashing installation

• Roof ventilation assessment

• Professional shingle installation following manufacturer specifications

• Complete site cleanup and final quality inspection

Attention to detail at every stage ensures a roofing system that performs reliably for many years.
