I am having a classic rib metal roof installed. I am confused whether I should have the sub use a synthetic underlayment, or a peel and stick. I know the peel and stick will help seal around the screws, and the synthetic will probably be better to prevent moisture/condensation... what is best? Leadville stays cold at night (down to freezing) about 8 months out of the year, and has high UV and sun as well (at 10,00 ft). BTW, I am having all new decking installed, 5/8 in plywood. Thanks, Steve

Around my parts, Ice/Water is about $10 more per square so you are looking at about a $1,000 upgrade. What is the design of the roof/structure below. The Ice/Water is a nice option and more important if you are worried about moisture diffusion to the roof metal. Eric Novotny

As long as you have good ventilation in the attic, as a safeguard, I would use the ice and watershield. Todd Miller
