Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Using a manufactured starter like CertainTeed High Performance instead of cut-up three-tabs gives you a proper sealant line and fastener placement at the roof edge, which matters for wind resistance at eaves and rakes. At 102 feet per bundle, an average ranch home often needs only one or two bundles. Keep the sealant strip oriented correctly at the eave per application instructions.
Install starter before field shingles and use roof-edge fall protection; follow the manufacturer's application instructions and local building codes.
