      Why Pro‑Start® Starter Strip Shingles?

      Pre-cut eave/rake starter strips are one of the most overlooked parts of a roofing system!  That’s because some roofing contractors try to use a cut-up 3-tab strip shingle as the “starter” course on your roof.  Unfortunately, these cut-up shingles may not have properly positioned adhesive to help reduce the risk of shingle blow-off.  Pro-Start® Eave/Rake Starter Strips are made with a high-quality, properly positioned adhesive applied at the factory to help prevent shingle blow-off.  Plus, installers like that they’re easy to use with no cutting on the roof, while homeowners feel good about the fact that they create less waste.
