Everything I wanna learn about anything is on YouTube. This makes serious sense.

Only the older peel and stick will stick to the shingles. The current peel and stick no longer sticks to the shingles, because the manufacturers are aware of that and that problem has been fixed. Plywood roof deck is an organic material which requires only 1 side to breathe. As long as you don't block the bottom side of the wood deck from breathing from something like spray foam, you will be safe to install peel and stick directly to the wood deck. Putting synthetic underlayment first to the wood deck will NOT allow breathing between the peel and stick and the wood deck as described in this video. Also it's very important to keep in mind that peel and stick has little adhesion to felt paper and better adhesion to synthetic underlayment, but peel and stick has a much stronger pull strength than synthetic and felt! So if your shingles blow off then, hope and pray that your peel and stick won't blow off the underlayment. All shingle manufacturers state that they require ventilation from the eaves to the attic vents and they don't mention any warranty issues when you put peel and stick directly to the wood deck. I know this because I'm a state licensed roofing and general contractor, civil engineer and I consult heavily with a building biologist and a member of the FL Roofing Association (FRSA).

Up North we are required to put Iceguard (peel and stick) 24 inches past inside of warm Interior wall directly to deck along eaves . If I was down south I would agree with you. I know metro Dade standards are high.Up here there are no nail I inspections etc. Ofcourse we don't have hurricanes etc. What we do have is a lot of ice in the winter. I appreciate the quality and care of your work. To many hacks out there.

Up here in the Jacksonville area, thanks for your info, I thought that was the case with peel and stick, that is sticks always to the roof decking, so I won't do that, you saved me lots of time, trouble and money.

Hey!

Do you guys run peel and stick in the valleys first and then put metal on top?

I am in a high debate with an installer!

I am used to putting peeling stick on the deck and then nailing my valley metal over it and sealing over the nails.

He swears that it is best to put the metal down, and then the peeling stick on top and into a degree I do agree with him, because in theory, it would take the sharp edges out of the wood and give the pill and stick and ice flat surface to lay on.

I look forward to hearing from you guys!

I'm from BIG ice dam country. Ice & Water shield has to go down on the plywood deck or it's worthless. Then install your felt or synthetic over the entire roof. That roof looked like it was an old house that had 1x12 plank sheathing. In that case it needs new 7/16 osb over that. I have a clause in my contract for bad underlayment. Peal and stick also needs to go in the valleys on the plywood. You put that down early in the morning. Before the temperature rises. I do high end roofs.

I tore a roof off in Daytona Beach that had peel n stick as the underlayment and didn't have this problem.

[JRS-iqpz]

In South Florida they put 30 lb underlayment down first. Then peel and stick on that. Never direct to wood. That's with a cement tile roof.

[JOHNSmith-pnfj]

I wonder if the older peel and stick has the same thing with melting to the shingles up in the Northern States where it does not get as hot or hot for as long as Florida does?

[flyingfin]

When the hurricane takes off the shingles, the peel & stick will stop the rain from entering the walls and ceilings. Felt underlayment will blow off with the shingles. Once the hurricane winds blow off the shingles, it continues to rain for hours.
Peel and stick will then become the primary membrane and protect the home from water intrusion. Difficult decision, but just dont say you should never do it.

Do you put peel and stick underlayment under tile roof since it can break?

[larrycrookshanks]

When you install ice and water shield on the plywood just remember to install the synthetic underlayment over the ice shield so the shingles won't stick.

I live in southern California. We have a 3400 SF house with concrete tile roof. What type of underlayment would be a good choice? We are thinking to upgrade the underlayment from felt to titanium synthetic UDL 50. Is this a good choice or should we stick with double layer 30 pound felt. Some of the local roofers do not recommend synthetic underlayment for tile. I appreciate your input!!!

Wrapped vehicles means overhead, which in turn means high prices

[davidmock]

Existing roof is near flat (maybe 1/8” in 12”) so we are planning to add tapered polyiso - about 1” to 7” with 1/2” plywood cover which will also help to match slope on adjacent new patio roof. The plywood will be screwed through the insulation to the existing 1x6 t&g deck
Should we use nail down underlayment with peel and stick cap sheet vs peel & stick underlayment or direct peel & stick to the plywood?

[vitalyshtulman]

Hey Jason, I understand your concern with peel-n-stick for the shingles roof. But what about a tile roof in FL? Would you recommend the same (nailable underlayment under the peel and stick) for a tile roof? Or directly over the decking? Thanks!

[Brandon-novc]

Or you can put synthetic over ice and water. And what's the difference from ice and water or synthetic as to trapping heat and shingles not lasting as long? Won't both trap just as much heat?

[timmclaughlin]

Ugh I am perplexed. What you are saying makes sense because the peel and stick or ice shield is going to bond to the sheathing. I am a house flipper. I was a contractor up North and did some roofing but live in sw Florida now. Im getting bids on a roof right now and everyone is bidding peel and stick to the sheathing. The last house I did we used synthetic underlayment and no peel and stick. The insurance companies gave the buyer a hard time about it. Some comment below saying that using the synthetic first is not ok with codes or manufactures so I am now totaly confused.

[thaikarate]

What the name of the blue underlayment product? Same as the roof felt ASTM? I am here in San Diego

[WWEENETWORK]

I was told by my roofer that he only recommends peel and stick on something called the valleys. And that peel and stick melts in the heat. However another roofer said...if they use a HIGH PERFORMANCE Peel and Stick...the heat and sticking does not. Whats the difference?
