Ice and Water Shield: What It Is and Why Ohio Homes Need It

Ice and Water Shield is more than just an upgrade — in Ohio, it’s required by code to protect your roof from leaks caused by ice dams and heavy storms. At Kaczmar Builders, we inspect your decking after tear-off and install a complete GAF roofing system, including Ice and Water Shield, drip edge, synthetic underlayment, starter strips, shingles, ventilation, and ridge caps. Our process ensures your home isn’t just up to code — it’s built to last.
