Learn how to roof with these tips
9. February 2009 by admin.
Hello DIYers,
Here are some tips on asphalt roofing, with more to follow. This example will be for a straight forward roof, no Hips or Valleys.
The first thing you want to do is, calculate the amount of shingles needed by measuring the width of the roof, followed by measuring up from the gutter-line to the ridge of your roof. I.e length of roof equals 32′ wide and from the gutter-line to the ridge equals 15′ feet. Take those numbers and times by two, plus add 10% more shingles for waste.
