Kelowna Roof Tear-Off with Ice and Water Shield
A full tear-off allows the existing roof covering to be removed so the deck and vulnerable transition areas can be addressed before the new shingles go on. This Kelowna replacement includes ice and water shield as part of the layered roof assembly beneath the finished architectural shingles.

The project story
Tear-off exposes the condition below
Removing the existing roofing gives the crew access to the deck and reveals conditions that cannot be confirmed through the old shingles. Any required deck work can then be identified before the new system covers the surface.
Self-adhered protection at vulnerable areas
Ice and water shield is used where added protection is needed against water intrusion from melting snow, wind-driven rain, or concentrated runoff. The exact placement follows the roof design, code, product instructions, and project scope.
A layered system finished with architectural shingles
Underlayment, edge details, flashing, starter materials, field shingles, and ridge components all contribute to the replacement. The finished shingles are only the top layer of a system designed to manage Okanagan weather.

Project questions
What homeowners ask about this work
What is the difference between a tear-off and an overlay?
A tear-off removes the existing roof covering before the new system is installed. This allows the deck to be viewed and avoids adding another shingle layer over unknown conditions.
Where is ice and water shield normally used?
Placement varies by roof and requirements, but common areas include eaves, valleys, penetrations, chimneys, and other transitions where water can concentrate or back up.
How long does a Kelowna roof replacement take?
Timing depends on roof size, pitch, complexity, deck repairs, material handling, weather, and site access. Blue Jay Roofing provides a project-specific schedule with the written estimate and pre-job planning.
