3. We will install ice and water shield a minimum of six feet from the eave edge up the roof line or whatever is required to make sure the ice and water shield extends twenty four inches beyond the interior wall line. In addition, we will install ice and water shield around every protrusion through the roof such as soil pipes, electrical risers, vents, satellites, skylights, chimneys and where any lower roofs meet second story walls.
