Expert Verdict Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk

Always install the manufacturer’s matched starter rather than cutting field tiles, as the starter profile sets correct reveal and weather protection at the eave. Match starter color to the tile color or to your drip edge preference. Order bundles based on total eave length with a margin for cuts at hips and corners.

Follow ladder, scaffold, and fall-protection safety practices when installing roofing at the eave line, and comply with local building codes.
