Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Snap a level chalk line and install the starter strip flush at the lowest course so the first panel locks square—any bow here telegraphs up the wall. Order the same color as your Urban Reserve siding and soffit for a truly seamless look, and add a few percent for cuts and corners. Because it is color-matched system accessory, it is not intended as a universal starter for other siding brands.
Follow CertainTeed installation instructions and local building codes, and use fall protection when working at height.
