The Right Roofing Accessories Can Extend the Life of a Roof

It takes more than just the shingles to complete the roofing project correctly and roofers trust IKO products to help them. 

A job that doesn't have a full roofing system is not only incomplete but also poses potential risks and vulnerabilities. IKO is a huge proponent of this philosophy. Roofers, like Dan Huberdeau of Watson's Roofing, place their trust in IKO products to ensure the successful completion of their roofing projects. For more than three decades, Watson's Roofing has exclusively relied on IKO products for repairing roofs, emphasizing the brand's reliability and performance. 

In many instances, when Dan Huberdeau and his team take on a roof repair project, it is often due to the previous installer's oversight in neglecting crucial elements such as ice protection or underlayment. To rectify these issues and safeguard the roofs, Watson's Roofing consistently uses IKO products. 

Among the various products they rely on, the ice and water protector stands out as a vital component. Installed at the eaves and valleys of the roof, this protective layer plays a critical role in preventing ice and snow from causing damage to the shingles. By effectively minimizing the risks associated with jammed-up ice and snow, the ice and water protector ensures the long-term durability of the roofing system. 

Additionally, Watson's Roofing frequently employs the Leading Edge Plus starter shingle, which Dan describes as a specialized strip designed to go exclusively underneath the first course of shingles. This innovative product provides added protection and reinforcement in areas that are particularly susceptible to wind-driven damage. By employing such proactive measures, IKO aims to enhance the overall resilience of the roof and prolong its lifespan. 

Watson's Roofing holds their partnership with IKO in high regard, considering it to be "top shelf.” They firmly believe that when they offer IKO products to their customers, they are “not just selling them shingles; they are selling them integrity.” This commitment to delivering reliable, long-lasting roofing solutions is a testament to the trust placed in IKO products by professionals like Dan Huberdeau and the entire Watson's Roofing team.
