Starter Strip Calculator

Eaves & Rakes Starter Course Estimator

The Starter Strip Calculator returns the bundle count of starter strip shingles needed to run a continuous starter course along every eave and rake on your roof. Starter strips are pre-cut, sealant-edged shingles that anchor the first course and the rake edges, providing critical wind-uplift resistance. Enter total eave plus rake linear feet and the tool returns bundle count using standard coverage of about 105-120 linear feet per bundle. Pair with our Shingles and Ridge Cap calculators.
