ROOFING FAQ'S

Q: What is a Roofing Square?

A:  A “Roofing Square” is a common term used in the roofing industry referring to a unit of measure.  In this case, 1 square = 100 square feet regardless of the configuration. It could be 10x10, 5x20, 2x50.  They all equal 100 square feet.  


For example, you have a 2,000 square foot roof, you would be told you need 20 squares.  2,000 / 100 = 20.

Q: How many Bundles of Roofing Material per Square?

A: Composition shingles,  3 bundles per 
square.  
     Wood Shakes,   5 bundles per square.
     Wood Shingles, 4 bundles per square.

Q: What about felts?

A: #15 lb felt between 3-3 squares per roll.
