The actual measurement of the shingle itself is one foot by three feet,
but there's a big overlap and only 3' x 5" of the shingle is actually exposed after installation.
Shingles are measured in a unit called a "square" which is 100 square feet.
3 bundles of conventional shingles will cover a "square".
Be sure and add at least 10% extra to your order, you'll need them for the starter strip and the crown.

Honest, anybody who isn't afraid of heights can shingle a roof.
Complete instructions are printed right on the wrapper of every bundle.
You've gotta love a trade where everything you need to know can be printed on a 1' x3' piece of paper.
All you need for tools is a hammer a framing square a chalk line and a utility knife.

If you need more details leave a message on my message board and I'll get back to you directly.
