Buying guide

Before you order shingle roofing

What’s in this department

Architectural, designer and 3-tab asphalt shingles and wood shakes by brand, line and color, with the starter strips and hip and ridge caps made for them.

How it’s sold

Shingles are sold by the bundle, with the square feet each bundle covers on the listing; some are priced per square (100 sq ft). Starter and hip and ridge products state their coverage in linear feet.

What to check before you buy
  • Line and color across field, starter and ridge
  • Coverage per bundle or square
  • Manufacturer requirements for underlayment, starter and ridge products
  • Wind and impact ratings where the listing states them
  • Local code and the manufacturer’s warranty requirements
How to calculate quantity

Measure each roof plane in square feet, add the areas and add a waste allowance — often 10–15% on roofs with hips and valleys. Divide by 100 for squares, multiply by the bundles per square on the listing and round up. Order starter and hip and ridge products separately.

Quick answers

How many bundles of shingles do I need?

Find the roof area in squares (1 square = 100 sq ft) and add 10–15% for waste. Many shingles are packaged at about 33.3 sq ft per bundle, or 3 bundles per square — check the coverage on the listing. A 2,000 sq ft roof plus 10% is 22 squares, or 66 bundles at 3 per square.

Do I need ice and water underlayment?

Building codes in many cold-climate areas require an ice barrier at the eaves, and shingle manufacturers often call for it in valleys. Check your local code and the manufacturer’s installation instructions.
