Understand the Benefits to Starter Strip Shingles for Your Roof
GAF Starter Strip shingles are essential to a roof replacement being installed successfully. GAF Starter Strips include a high-quality, properly positioned adhesive that will tightly lock your shingles in place to help prevent shingle blow-off. They are an optional add-on, but we recommend them for your roof’s installation, as they help ensure weather resistance of the entire roofing system. The stater strips are installed at the eaves and rakes to aid in waterproofing your roof’s most vulnerable areas.
GAF, North America’s leading roofing manufacturer, offers four starter strip shingle products, each with exceptional features. As one of the premier local residential and commercial roofers, We know what makes each GAF starter strip worth pursuing; detailed below.
