Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Always install the DaVinci starter course before field shakes: it sets the eave tilt that protects the first course from wind-driven rain. Keep the starter in the same Mountain Blend colorway so the exposed bottom edge matches the field. Confirm fastener schedule and underlayment layers with DaVinci's instructions for your project's wind exposure.
Use fall protection and stable roof access equipment when working at the eave, per OSHA and local code.
Order the DaVinci Roofscapes Shake Starter in Mountain Blend to start your composite shake roof correctly.
