There are eighty roofing shingles in one square.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">However, when you go to your local home improvement store roofing shingles are usually sold in bundles. Usually three bundles of roofing shingles equal one square, however this can vary slightly pending the shingle style.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Measure the area of your roof (length x width) and divide by 100 to get the number of squares required. Then multiply this number by three to get the number of bundles of roofing shingles required for the job. Add an additional 10-15% for spare, leaning toward the 15% if your roof has hips and valleys.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Drip edge, ice and water shield, asphalt paper, flashing, roofing nails, and hip and ridge vents will also be required for shingling a roof. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The Drip edge comes in various lengths. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Measure the outside perimeter of the roof to calculate the drip edge required. The ice and water shield, asphalt paper and flashing come in roles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Use your roof square area calculation for determining your asphalt paper requirements. <\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"47%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6349 \" src=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Roofing_Picture.jpg\" alt=\"How to shingle a roof.\" width=\"257\" height=\"253\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Typically only one or two courses of ice and water shield is required along the bottom\/eave of the roof and in the valleys. Calculate 2 times the length of the roof and valleys to estimate the amount of ice and water shield required.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Typically each roofing shingle will require 4-6 roofing nails and flashing usually comes in 16\u201d wide roles or 6&#215;6 or 8&#215;8 square inch steps. Step flashing is typically used around chimneys, dormers and side wall junctions. Hip and Ridge vent will vary with local building codes, however a rough estimate would be to measure the length of your roof\u2019s hip and ridges and take 75% of this figure for calculating the amount of vent required.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">You should now be able to fairly accurately calculate the cost of material for shingling your roofing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Installing the Drip Edge before Shingling a Roof<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Nail the Drip edge around the entire outside perimeter of the roof.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Apply Ice\/Water Shield Membrane &amp; Asphalt Paper before Shingling a Roof<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Apply the ice and water shield material such that it is flush with the drip edge. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">If the climate in your area has harsh winters and\/or significant annual rainfall, add a second course of ice and water shield for added protection.

Step flashing around chimneys and dormers will be added as the roofing shingles are installed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Installing the Roofing Shingles<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Start the shingling at the bottom of the roof (or at the eaves). Lay a starter course of roofing shingles such that the bottom edge of the roofing shingle lines up flush with the drip edge. The starter strip is a \u201ctabless\u201d roofing shingle that you make from the regular roofing shingles using your carpenter\u2019s knife.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Lay your next course of full roofing shingles over the first course, staggering the starter joints from the first course to prevent water penetration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Note: Sometimes you may want to start with a full or a partial roofing shingle at one end. In either case, you want to try to avoid small roofing shingle pieces at the far end of the roof. To prevent this, divide the length of the roof by the length of a full roofing shingle and assess how much of a shingle length you want to start with. Ideally you do not want to have pieces smaller than 12\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Use a Chalk Line when Shingling a Roof<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">To ensure your shingle courses run straight use a chalk line, such as the <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B000UUHU6W?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=wwwhomeadditi-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B000UUHU6W\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Tajima CR202B-P Chalk-Rite II Ultra-Thin Snap Line with Triple Speed Rewind and 1.4-ounce Bottle Blue Chalk-Rite Chalk<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.

The roof jacks should be securely nailed through the decking and into rafters to ensure that they will support your weight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Shingling a Roof &#8211; Valleys, Chimneys, Skylights and Dormers, and Step Flashing<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Shingling the valleys and installing flashing requires extra care. The roofing shingles, typically coming from two intersecting courses when entering a valley, need to overlap each other such that no water penetration occurs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Skylights, chimneys and dormers must be step flashed (step flashing is interleaved with each course of shingles) to ensure water is kept from penetrating the roof.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Adding the Ridge Vent and Caps<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">To complete the shingling of a roofing project, ridge vents need to be installed. These are nailed to the top of the ridge and then capped.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The ridge cap prevents water from entering the home via the ridge vent, while still allowing the house to breath. The ridge cap is constructed out of individual roofing shingle tabs that have their unfinished corners cut off at 45 degree angles. Each modified roofing shingle tab, is nailed such that it overlaps the previous piece as you work your way down the length of the ridge vent.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><b>For more help on Shingling Your Home&#8217;s Roof<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #0b0000;\">, see HomeAdditionPlus.com\u2019s <\/span><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/home_addition_bid_sheets\/asphalt-shingle-roofing-bid-sheet\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Asphalt Shingle Roofing Bid Sheet<\/span><\/a><\/strong>. <span style=\"color: #0b0000;\">The<\/span> <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/home_addition_bid_sheets\/asphalt-shingle-roofing-bid-sheet\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Asphalt Shingle Roofing Bid Sheet<\/span><\/a><\/strong> <span style=\"color: #0b0000;\">will help to ensure<\/span> <span style=\"color: #0b0000;\">that your roof won&#8217;t end up with a blue tarp over it and a dumpster sitting in your yard for weeks as you wait for the roofing contractor to come back and finish roofing your home.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/home_addition_bid_sheets\/asphalt-shingle-roofing-bid-sheet\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11804 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Asphalt_Shingle_Roofing_Bid_Sheet_CP-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Asphalt_Shingle_Roofing_Bid_Sheet_CP-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Asphalt_Shingle_Roofing_Bid_Sheet_CP.jpg 384w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;
