GAF Pro-Start® Eave/Rake Starter Strips are a professional-grade roofing component designed to reinforce the vulnerable eave and rake edges of your roof. Unlike cut-up 3-tab shingles, these pre-cut strips feature factory-applied Dura Grip™ adhesive positioned for maximum edge hold, helping reduce the risk of shingle blow-off in high winds. The perforated design allows for fast, clean installation without cutting on the roof, improving installer efficiency while reducing material waste. These starter strips also contribute to a cleaner appearance along the roofline and may qualify for enhanced wind coverage when installed with select GAF shingles.

Common uses include:

• Serving as starter course for asphalt shingle roofs

• Securing eaves and rake edges with factory-positioned adhesive

• Supporting high-wind installation requirements

• Streamlining professional or DIY roofing projects

• Enhancing curb appeal with straighter roof lines and clean edges
