How to install ice and water shield to stop ice dam leaks. 
Ice and water shield, ice guard, water proof underlayment, self stick underlayment.
These are all terms for a rubberized asphalt sheet membrane intended to prevent water from ice dams penetrating your roof envelope and leaking into your house. Generally speaking, these materials perform as intended. When they fail, it's usually from improper installation.

It was just my opinion, based on personal professional experience, concerning the economic ramifications of repairing an old slate roof versus replacing same in my last post. But it is the customers opinion that counts. And the customers opinion was that the old slate had enough charm and added something to the asthetics of the house to warrant keeping and repairing the slate roof.

Often I come across a slate roof that’s just not worth repairing.
Today I received a call from a local home construction contractor asking if I could give an estimate on installing a new pipe flashing on a plumbing stack he was replacing. He was remodeling a bathroom in a century home nearby. After a cursory inspection of the roof it was decided to replace the stack flashing and also the cast iron soil pipe. The lead stack flashing looked like it was the original and was in terrible shape and there had already been prior repairs.
