Frequently Asked Questions

How many bundles of shingles do I need?
One roofing square covers 100 square feet. Most standard and architectural shingles come 3 bundles per square. So for a 2,000 sq ft roof: 2,000 / 100 = 20 squares × 3 = 60 bundles. Add 10-20% for waste depending on roof complexity.
How long do asphalt shingles last?
3-tab shingles last 15-20 years. Architectural/dimensional shingles last 25-30 years. Premium/designer shingles can last 30-50 years. Lifespan depends on climate, ventilation, installation quality, and maintenance.
