I’m in a pretty snowy spot and only did full peel-and-stick once, after a nasty ice dam year. Honestly, it wasn’t a game changer—valleys and eaves see...
I get what you’re saying, but I actually managed to clear almost all the nails after a big storm last year. Instead of just magnets, I used a shop vac...
That’s been my experience too. I went with a pricier composite after seeing some cheaper ones curl up down the street. No issues so far, even with our...
That story hits close to home. We had a similar situation a few years back—decided to save a buck and went with a second layer. Looked fine for a whil...
Funny how the insulation always finds a way to sneak where it shouldn’t, right? I’ve got cellulose up there and it’s like it’s got legs—one good winds...

I've noticed the same thing with underlayments. A few years back, I went with a brand that had rave reviews and a solid warranty, thinking I'd be set ...
I've been down the plywood route myself a couple times—it's definitely reliable. But yeah, storage afterward is kind of a nightmare. I finally got tir...
