- Three colors: Available in Brown, Charcoal, and White to match common roof palettes.

Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Confirm the riser height matches your tile manufacturer's eave detail before ordering, since incorrect height changes the starter course angle. Install after the underlayment and drip edge, fastening into solid framing at the eave, then set the starter tile over it. Pair with a matching bird stop where pest exclusion is also required.
Metal edges are sharp; wear cut-resistant gloves and eye protection, and use ladder and fall protection for eave work.
Order TopShield Galvanized Eave Riser in Brown, Charcoal, or White to finish your tile roof eave right.
