Integrated Water Protection for Homes and Commercial Roofs in Colorado Springs, CO

Roof Valley & Ice/Water Shield Installation in Colorado Springs, CO

Water infiltration is one of the most common — and costly — forms of roofing damage in Colorado. That's why at Lianro Metal Roofs, we focus not just on roofing materials, but on the structural components that protect the most vulnerable parts of your roofing system.

Our professional roof valley installation and ice and water shield integration services are designed to provide enhanced protection against leaks, ice dams, and long-term water damage. Whether you're replacing an aging roof or building a new custom home, these components are essential for long-lasting roof performance.

We install valleys and moisture barriers as part of every full roof replacement — and we also offer them as standalone upgrades or repairs when damage is isolated or preventive improvements are needed.

What Is a Roof Valley?

A roof valley is the internal angle formed where two roof slopes meet. Because valleys naturally collect and channel water during rainfall or snowmelt, they're especially vulnerable to water infiltration, ice buildup, and wear over time.

Without proper flashing and underlayment, roof valleys can become weak points where leaks develop and materials deteriorate prematurely.

Common Types of Roof Valleys:

  • Open Valleys: Metal flashing is visible; used with high-flow roof designs or heavy snow zones
  • Closed-Cut Valleys: Shingles overlap each other at the seam, covering the valley center
  • Woven Valleys: Shingles are interlaced to form a continuous surface (less common with architectural shingles)
  • Custom Metal Valleys: Fabricated for stone-coated steel roofing or complex multi-slope roofs

We fabricate and install both standard and custom valleys depending on your roofing material, slope complexity, and water flow needs.

Why Roof Valleys Matter in Colorado

Colorado's weather — with its heavy snow loads, frequent freeze-thaw cycles, and spring rainstorms — places stress on roof valleys like few other regions. If your roof valley is poorly designed or deteriorating, you may face:

What Is Ice & Water Shield?

Ice and water shield is a self-adhering waterproof membrane installed under the shingles in areas most prone to moisture intrusion — including eaves, valleys, ridges, and around penetrations.

This product forms a watertight barrier that protects the roof deck from snowmelt, ice damming, and wind-driven rain.

  • Water intrusion
  • Interior staining or rot
  • Ice dams and backflow
  • Shingle cracking or warping
  • Mold or insulation damage

At Lianro, we fabricate roof valleys in-house and install them with precision to manage runoff, direct moisture away from critical joints, and integrate perfectly with your shingles or stone-coated steel roofing system.

Where We Install Ice & Water Shield:

  • Along roof edges (especially at eaves)
  • In valleys between roof slopes
  • Around chimneys, vents, and skylights
  • At roof-wall intersections
  • Beneath metal flashing details
  • Around dormers and architectural features

We use ice and water shield on every new roofing system we install, following both manufacturer guidelines and Colorado best practices.

Key Benefits of Ice & Water Shield

Waterproof Barrier

Seals around fasteners and decking to create a complete moisture barrier.

Self-Healing Surface

Adapts to nail punctures and temperature fluctuations for continuous protection.

Improved Performance

Adds redundancy beneath the primary roof covering for enhanced protection.

Ice Dam Protection

Stops ice dams before they can cause damage to your roof structure.

Code Compliance

Required by code in many Colorado municipalities for proper roof protection.

Used together with premium flashing and properly installed valleys, ice and water shield significantly extends the life of your roof.

Our Installation Process

Whether part of a full roof replacement or a standalone upgrade, we follow a detailed installation protocol to ensure long-term performance.

Roof Valley Installation

  1. Evaluate slope, roof geometry, and drainage needs
  2. Remove or cut back shingles to access the valley area
  3. Install ice and water shield beneath the valley
  4. Fabricate custom metal valley flashing if needed
  5. Set and fasten valley flashing or prepare for shingle overlay
  6. Shingle integration (cut or weave, based on roofing material and valley type)
  7. Seal and inspect for watertight seams, drainage angle, and debris flow

Ice & Water Shield Installation

  1. Inspect and clean the decking area
  2. Apply shield along eaves, valleys, and penetrations
  3. Seal overlaps for continuous protection
  4. Integrate shield with standard underlayment
  5. Coordinate with shingle or steel panel layout

We ensure proper overlap, bonding, and integration to prevent any channel for water intrusion beneath the finished roof system.

Roofing Systems We Work With

Our roof valley and ice/water shield installation services are compatible with:

  • IKO architectural asphalt shingles
  • Stone-coated steel roofing (shake, tile, and slate profiles)
  • Select commercial-grade asphalt systems on pitched buildings
  • Custom homes and complex roof geometries
  • Roofs with dormers, skylights, or intersecting ridges

We tailor materials and flashing profiles to suit your roof's slope, drainage volume, and material type.

Signs Your Roof May Need Valley or Shield Upgrades

You may benefit from targeted valley or moisture barrier improvements if you've noticed:

  • Water spots or leaks along ceilings near walls or eaves
  • Visible deterioration of shingles near roof intersections
  • Past ice damming at the roof edge
  • Evidence of staining or sagging in the attic
  • History of valley repairs or patching
  • Your current roof is over 15 years old and lacks modern barriers

Even without visible damage, valley upgrades and moisture barriers are valuable preventative improvements — especially in Colorado's climate.

Ideal Timing for These Services

We recommend including new valley flashing and full ice and water shield integration during:

Full Roof Replacements

The ideal time to upgrade your valley system and moisture barriers for complete integration.

Custom Home Construction

Start with the right protection from day one on new construction projects.

Major Remodels

Upgrade protection during roof expansions or architectural changes to your home.

System Upgrades

When transitioning from basic shingles to architectural or steel roofing systems.

Storm Damage Repairs

After weather events that may have compromised your roof's water protection.

Standalone Repairs

Targeted valley repairs can be completed if the rest of the roof is still in good shape.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Valleys & Ice/Water Shield

A roof valley is the area where two sloping sections of roof meet. These intersections naturally channel water down the roof, which makes them prone to leaks if not properly flashed and protected. Roof valleys require special installation techniques and materials to manage runoff and prevent moisture intrusion.

We install both:

  • Custom-fabricated metal valleys, typically made from aluminum or steel
  • Shingle-integrated valleys, using closed-cut or woven methods with IKO architectural shingles

The type of valley we recommend depends on your roofing material, slope, and regional conditions. In Colorado, open metal valleys are often preferred for better drainage in snow-heavy zones.

Ice and water shield is a waterproof membrane installed beneath your roofing material in vulnerable areas like eaves, valleys, and roof penetrations. It self-adheres to the roof deck and creates a watertight seal, preventing leaks caused by ice dams, wind-driven rain, and snow melt.

We install ice and water shield in:

  • Roof valleys
  • Along eaves and rakes
  • Around skylights, vents, and chimneys
  • At roof-wall intersections
  • Beneath metal flashing or transition areas

It's a key part of modern roofing systems and helps stop leaks before they start.

In most Colorado municipalities, yes. Building codes often require ice and water shield along roof eaves or in any area where ice dams are likely to occur. At Lianro, we install it as a best practice on all full roof replacements — regardless of code — for added protection and peace of mind.

In some cases, yes. If your roof is otherwise in good condition, we can replace deteriorating valleys or install ice and water shield in specific problem areas. However, full integration is best done during a roof replacement or major upgrade for maximum protection and cost-efficiency.

Most do. Whether you're using IKO shingles or stone-coated steel, valleys must be either flashed or carefully woven to direct water away from the seam. Improperly installed valleys are one of the leading causes of roof leaks, especially in multi-slope or dormer-heavy designs.

We evaluate:

  • Roof pitch
  • Climate exposure (snow, ice, runoff volume)
  • Roofing material type
  • Architectural design preferences
  • Cost-effectiveness for your specific project

Based on those factors, we'll recommend either open metal valleys or shingle-integrated solutions with moisture barrier protection.

Look for:

  • Water stains or drips along ceiling seams
  • Mold or moisture in the attic
  • Sagging, cracking, or warping shingles near valleys
  • Rusted or exposed valley flashing
  • Repeated ice damming or pooling in the valley during winter

If you notice any of these, schedule an inspection to prevent further damage.
