Starter Strip Shingles

A shingle starter strip is an important part of a residential roofing system. It plays a critical role in reducing the risk of shingle blow-off along the eaves and rakes of the roof. It provides a base under the shingle at the eaves, helping the roof shed water efficiently. As its name implies, every asphalt shingle roof will start with this shingle.

Contractors might skip using pre-perforated starter strip shingles for a variety of reasons. Hand-cutting traditional 3-tab shingles may seem cheaper, quicker, or easier. In reality, using pre-perforated starter strips helps save roofing contractors time and effort.

Thinking about switching to a pre-cut shingle starter strip from a cut up 3-tab asphalt shingle? Don't delay. Starter Strips save you time cutting 3-tab shingles, have properly positioned adhesive to help reduce the risk of shingle blow-offs, and allow you to create clean, finished roof edges.
