Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
A 7.75 in wide starter gives you full sealing under the first tab course and a clean drip edge line; snap a chalk line and install with the adhesive strip at the eave. Stagger strip joints between courses as you would field shingles. One bundle covers roughly 105 linear feet, so measure your eaves and rakes before ordering.
Follow ladder and roof fall-protection safety practices when installing starter strip and shingles.
