Starter Shingles

The essential foundation for a strong roof

Protect homes from wind and wet weather all year 'round

The primary function of Starter Shingles is to prevent water infiltration and wind uplift at the vulnerable edges of the roof. Their strategic placement helps create a secure and reliable seal, minimizing the risk of leaks and potential damage caused by wind-driven rain.

CertaSeal™ Adhesive

CertaSeal is a high-grade adhesive made from a proprietary blend of asphalts and polymers that seals shingles together on the roof to safeguard against wind uplift, shingle blow off, and moisture infiltration. Unlike harder sealants that can dry out and crack over time, it is designed to remain pliable and accommodate the slight structural shifts caused by years of temperature and weather changes.
