What does this mean to you as a homeowner? Your residential roofing system has 6 main layers that work together to create a durable system. We cover all 6 to ensure the maximum duration of your new roof.

3. Starter Strips

  • Starter strips shingles have specially positioned sealant applied at the factory

  • Installed at the eaves and rakes to help reduce the risk of shingle blow-offs
