Need Some Shingles!

choppedliver · 03-15-2010, 12:43 PM

Anyone got 4 squares of dimensional shingles laying around? Preferably something in the brown family.

I have about 3/4 of a package of brown. No idea how that equates to squares, but they are yours if you want them. In Navarre. 582-9716

I think it takes 4 packages to make one square of dimensionals, and 3 packages to make one square of 3 tabs. If Im correct, then I would need 16 bundles of dimensional and 12 of 3 tab. Someone correct me if Im wrong. I appreciate the offer!

3 bundles of dimensional still make a square if they are standard 30 year shingles, which most are. Its 40 or 50 year shingles that take more bundles to make a square, some of the super heavyweight shingles up to 6 bundles per square.

Same here - I got about 3/4 of a package of dimensional left over from new roof a few months ago. I'd say they are in the grey family. Sounds like you need more though.

Possibly. My house roof is brown, so Im trying to stay near that. If I cant find something in the tan or brown family I might go that route... let me see what i can find

I have some metal shingles with a granular coating in a medium gray color. It's commonly know as stone coated steel. If your trying to patch an area they wont work with asphalt but if it's a separate structure they will.

Separate structure. how do you put them on? Just like shingles? Do they look like shingles?

Unless it's a straight gable roof (up and over with no hips, valleys, dormers, etc.) I would not attempt the metal shingles yourself, unless youhave a real solid understanding of roofing and working with metal. If you go that route, get a pro, seachaser or somebody to do it.
