- Residential Roof RepairNot to be confused with roofing starter strips, starter strips for exterior walls are placed at the bottom of each partition in order to secure the first pieces of siding. All starter strips function as perimeter base support for Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems (EIFS). Additionally, more advanced starter strip models are designed to let moisture escape through built-in weep holes and tracks, protecting walls from vapor and liquid water by allowing the wall to drain and dry. Other starter strips require laborers to drill the holes and add tracks themselves—resulting in dramatically increased labor times and reduced consistency in the spacing and functionality of the weeps. These features are especially critical for stucco walls, which easily succumb to moisture problems.
