Roof Dry-In for
New Construction

Getting your build weathertight is our first priority. We schedule around your framing crew and move fast.

What Is Dry-In?

Roof dry-in is the installation of underlayment, ice and water shield, and drip edge over the sheathing immediately after framing — before shingles or metal panels are installed. It creates a weatherproof barrier that protects the entire structure from rain, snow, and wind during the remainder of construction.

Why Dry-In Speed Matters on Your Build

In Ontario's unpredictable climate, an unprotected structure can sustain significant water damage in a single storm event. Damaged sheathing, soaked insulation, and swollen framing members are expensive to remediate and can delay occupancy by weeks. Getting dried in fast is not optional — it's the first line of defence for your investment.

What's Included in Our Dry-In Service

  • Self-adhered ice and water shield at all eaves and valleys
  • Synthetic underlayment across full roof deck
