Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
A dedicated rake starter gives the rake edge a clean, finished look and helps resist wind uplift at the perimeter compared to improvising from field shingles. Match the StarterMatch color to your field shingle blend and run it along both rakes before installing starter strip at the eaves. Order by measuring total rake linear feet and adding a small allowance for waste.
Install starter shingles before field courses and work at the roof edge only with proper fall protection; follow local building codes.
Order GAF StarterMatch rake starter shingles in Ocean Gray or Sandalwood to finish your GAF roof edges right.
