Expert Verdict Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk

Always install the starter strip perfectly level, since the whole veneer course stacks off it; a small error at the base shows at the top. Keep the drainage path open at the bottom edge so water can exit and the cavity can dry. Choose the color closest to your panel shade so the strip is not visible at exposed rake or base edges.

Work from stable footing and wear eye protection when fastening; follow the panel manufacturer’s fastening pattern and local building code requirements.
