Pre-cut eave/rake starter strips are one of the most overlooked parts of a quality roofing system. That’s because some roofing contractors will 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.

• Looks Better:  Straighter roof edges and no messy black cement dripping onto your new white edge metal.
• Excellent Performance:  Factory-applied Dura Grip™ Adhesive helps to lock down the roof edges at the eaves and rakes.
• Peace of Mind:  Eligible for a Lifetime limited warranty when installed on Lifetime Shingle roofs.¹
• Potential Increased Wind Coverage:  GAF offers increased wind coverage on many shingles when you use GAF starter strips with factory-applied adhesive and follow special installation requirements.¹
• Convenient:  At least 50% more coverage per bundle (versus typical 3-tab shingles) means less to carry and handle on the roof.
• Efficient:  Perforated designed eliminates cutting on the roof.
• Environmentally Friendly:  Reduces landfill waste by eliminating shingle scraps.
