Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Tuck the diverter up under the shingle course above the door and angle the down-slope edge to throw water clear of the walkway. Keep it above 3/12 pitch as recommended; on flatter roofs a gutter or scupper is a better solution. Use more than one piece in a continuous run for wide doors or porch spans.
Retrofitting diverters means lifting shingles; use fall protection and proper roofing sealant, and wear gloves around metal edges.
Add the Arts Galvanized Composition Rain Diverter above doorways to steer runoff away.
