About QuickStart® Peel & Stick Starter Roll

Starter strips are one of the most overlooked parts of a quality roofing system!  That’s because some roofing contractors try to use a cut-up 3-tab strip shingle as the “starter” course on your roof.  Unfortunately, cut-up shingles may not have properly positioned adhesive to help reduce the risk of shingle blow-off.  QuickStart® Peel & Stick Starter Roll is designed for fast and easy installation.  High-quality, properly aligned adhesive tightly locks the shingles in place and helps prevent shingle blow-off.

  • Potential Increased Wind Coverage:  GAF offers increased wind coverage on many GAF Shingles when you use GAF starter strips with factory-applied adhesive and follow special installation requirements.1
  • Looks Better:  Straighter roof edges and no messy black cement dripping onto your new white edge metal.
  • Helps Prevent Shingle Blow-Off:  Factory-applied Dura Grip™ Adhesive helps to tightly lock your shingles in place.
  • Peace of Mind:  Eligible for up to a lifetime limited warranty when installed on Lifetime Shingle roofs.1
  • Versatile:  For use with most standard and metric-sized asphalt shingles.
