You may also want to consult your insurance carrier, as they may have specific requirements to continue coverage.

Agree. Also a suggestion. When we redid the roof for our old Maine summer home I had the ENTIRE roof sheathing covered in “ice & water shield” before shingles were applied. Will never leak and roof is sealed. Was actually the brand IKO but same thing. Of course need to insure that all roof sheathing was sound before applying fabric
