The crucial first layer of defense for your roof edges

What's the Purpose of Starter Strips?

Starter strips are crucial but constantly overlooked components of roofing systems. Without them, shingles may detach, causing material waste and expensive repairs. They protect roof edges at the most vulnerable perimeter points.

The Pro-Start Eave/Rake Starter Strip Shingles use Dura Grip adhesive to provide proper adhesion and wind resistance, preventing shingle loss and water leaks. This factory-applied adhesive creates a secure bond that keeps your roofing system intact through severe weather.

Why Do Homeowners Need Starter Strips?

Without starter strips, the edges of your roof are exposed to wind uplift, water infiltration, and premature wear. These critical components create the foundation for your entire shingle system, ensuring each course of shingles has proper adhesion from the very first row.
