FAQ
How many bundles per square? +
Most asphalt shingles run 3 bundles per square (100 sq ft). Heavier architectural shingles can be 4 bundles per square — check the wrapper.
Should I add waste? +
10% is standard for a simple gable roof. Use 15% for hips, valleys, or complex roofs with lots of cuts.
