Ice Dam Remediation + EPDM Waterproofing + PVC Trim Restoration
A comprehensive fix for a home with chronic ice dam and water intrusion problems — the kind that no single repair solves. We started at the garage, where live heated edge panels had been band-aiding the symptom rather than fixing the cause. We safely disconnected and removed them (live wires, never cut), then replaced them with the real solution: black metal valleys and snow panels installed over Vycor high-temperature ice and water shield, tied cleanly into the existing shingles. The trickiest area was the back garage roof-to-wall transition, where water was getting behind the siding. We pulled the clapboard and corner trim, installed poly-iso substrate, and ran a fully adhered .060 EPDM rubber membrane 6–8 inches up the wall behind the trim — seam-taped and terminated properly — so water has nowhere to sneak in. From there, an extensive trim restoration: rotted fascia, shadow board, and continuous vented soffit replaced with PVC around the house, primed clapboard siding restored at damaged sections, a window re-trimmed in PVC with new flashing tape (carefully preserving and reinstalling the original copper roof above it), and new PVC decorative corner trim and water table installed over the EPDM. We finished with new 5" K-Style seamless aluminum gutters and downspouts along the front, installed behind the drip edge and pitched correctly. **The result:** ice dams addressed at the source, a watertight roof-to-wall system, rot-proof PVC trim throughout, and a home rebuilt to handle New England winters — backed by a 5-year workmanship warranty. **Estimated project investment:** $22,899 --- **Thumbtack version (96 characters):** > Ice dam fix: metal valleys, snow panels, EPDM waterproofing & PVC trim restoration + gutters
