Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
For Grand Sequoia roofs, run WeatherBlocker as the first starter course and StarterMatch over it at the eave so the Mission Brown shows through the tab cutouts of the first shingle course. Trim 5 in. from the rake edge of the first strip and continue with full-size strips along the rake. Using GAF Lifetime shingles with at least three qualifying GAF accessories is what unlocks the stronger system warranty.
Follow GAF's installation instructions and local building code, and use appropriate fall protection when working on a roof.
