Hi all
Just wanted to get your thoughts on this. I have been roofing for about 6-7 years and have always put the ice and water protection on the first 3 feet and then the drip edge over the ice and water. After the drip edge I apply roll roofing as the starter and the the shingles. I have read that some people put the drip edge on before the ice and water protection. Doesn't the ice and water directly on the roof deck provide better protection?? My thinking was that if any ice damns were to raise the drip edge, the roof still has the ice and water protection.
Any thoughts/discussion would be appreciated!
