How many roofing shingles do I need?
A roofing project can introduce homeowners to many new terms, and one of the first you’re likely to come up against is “roofing square.” Measuring in squares is unique to the roofing industry—understanding how these measurements work can be a vital part of planning your roof repair or replacement.
What are the most common roof shingle types?
If you’re looking to replace your roof, you may wonder what type of roof shingles you should use. You have no shortage of options—shingles come in all different types, styles, and colors. Here’s a look at the different types of roof shingles available for residential roofing so that you can make an informed choice for your needs.
