How do I figure out how many bundles of shingles I need?
The most accurate way to calculate how many bundles of shingles you'll need is to get up on the roof and measure each roof plane. If all the roof planes are rectangles, you simply need to multiply the length times the width of each plane to get the square footage; then you will add up the square footage of each plane.
