Roofing Shingles


Here are some of the more commonly asked questions we get about roofing shingles:

Can new shingles be applied over existing ones?
Yes, depending on the roof’s conditions. If it has a single, flat lying layer and a deck in good condition, then you should be apply to a new layer on top of the old one. However, you’ll need to check with your local officials regarding building code rules.

What can be done to diminish the chances for shading?
Don’t mix on the same roof shingles with different production codes. Ensure you are following the proper instructions, and apply them from the roof’s bottom to the top.

How many shingles do I need on my roof?
It depends on the size of your roofing. You can estimate using approximate calculations, and most roofs can be separated into different shapes. First calculate the roof’s area by figuring out whether the roof has triangle, square, etc. shapes. Then, add up all the areas to determine the total area.
