   *Do more than that, go several courses up because you have a classic Ice dam situation there. The guy who doesn't is going to be the cheapest. he's also going to be back redoing it several times!!!

   *D.G.The bottom 3' is exactly where you have to worry.Even with the best insulation and a cold roof there is a temperature difference at the lower end of a 3' foot overhang.The melt freeze cycle causes ice to form and the snow and ice sheild protects the roof from ice that backs up under the shingles.Vince

   *I wouldn't put on double layer, but I would put on two rows. It would be code anyway in this area (Iowa)for your project.djk

   *Our rule of thumb in the mtns of Colorado (lots of snow and ice daming) was three feet above wall. That means six feet minimum for you.

   *On a 3/12 your asking for trouble if you don't go 6'. I may even consider 9' depending on where the insulation ends and the attic starts. For the $, you would be foolish not to go the extra 3'.

   *I would go at least 3-6 feet beyond the wall line. A second layer is unnecessary. I would also do all valleys.

   I am estimating a roof on a ranch with a 3/12 pitch.
   The house has three foot overhangs. Do I need to apply a
   double layer of ice gaurd membrane over all the eaves?
   I am located in central Michigan which gets about 75'' of
   of snow annually.
