Easy to use
As with most roofing projects we normally just cut off the tabs and use the rest for a starter course. Since we were close on shingles we went with the starter strip. Easy to use, comes in an easy to split 2 pieces. Just nail it up and your ready to go. Just a note if your using 39 3/8” shingles then cut 3” from the first starter strip on the eave. If you forget then just cut off 6” from the first eave shingle. On the rake they make easy work of the job.

These starter strip shingles were easy to use and fairly inexpensive. They seemed to be more convenient than the starter strip rolls, which can be awkward to install especially for a single worker.
