Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Pre-made starter rolls save labor versus cutting tabs from field shingles and give a consistent first course. Match the starter to your Malarkey field shingle system so the adhesion lines up where the manufacturer expects it. For long eave runs, order a spare bundle for waste at rakes.
Use fall protection and follow safe roofing practices when working on roof slopes.
