ABSTRACT:
An asphalt composition roofing starter which functions as both a starter and flashing is disclosed. The starter is preferably made from the same asphalt composition roofing material as the roof itself, and comprises a rectangular portion for nailing in plurality to the lower edge of a roof in side by side abutting relationship, and an integral downward extending flashing-like portion which may serve as the flashing on a new roof, or alternatively, covering existing metal flashing in reroofing applications, in either event being more compatible with the main roof covering itself and not requiring the usual periodic repainting characteristic of ordinary flashing. The downward extending portion of the starter is wider than the upper rectangular portion by extending beyond either one or both ends of the upper rectangular portion so as to provide an overlap to avoid any visible split or opening between the adjacent starters. Preferably the starter is folded a full 180 degree along the line between the rectangular portion and the downward extended portion at the time of manufacture, and shipped in the folded condition, being unfolded by 90 degrees plus the roof pitch angle at the time of installation.
