Ice and Water Shield Roof in Toledo, Ohio

Ohio building code requires ice and water shield from the eave edge to at least 24 inches inside the interior wall line on every permitted roof replacement in Toledo. That is the minimum. On Toledo homes that receive 40 to 60 inches of lake-effect snow annually with freeze-thaw cycling from November through March, Pro Craft extends ice and water shield through every valley and around every penetration as standard practice on every installation. Not as an upgrade.

Ice and water shield is a self-adhering rubberized membrane that seals around nail penetrations. When ice dam water backs up under the first shingle course, the membrane is the last line of defense before water reaches the decking. A roof installed without it at the correct coverage depth fails this defense every Toledo winter.

The articles in this section cover how ice and water shield works, Ohio code requirements, and what correct coverage looks like on a Toledo home. Request a free roof inspection from Pro Craft or call 419.475.9600.
