Shingle Application

Starter: Use of sure-start starter shingles ¼" past drip edge

Bleeders: use of sure-start starter as bleeders along the rakes for strength and clean lines. This helps prevent water intrusion and loss of a clean roof line if shingles shrink.

  • Lap: Horizontal 5" minimum
  • Nailing: 5 nails per shingle, storm nail rakes
