Easiest: check the instructions To calculate the number of shingles for a roof measure the roof height and length. Using a different "Reveal": Divide the above calculation by the new shingle spacing measurement. For instance, if using a ¾" reveal (as in the "Cottage Style" example), and your calculation above gave 800 shingles for a 1" reveal (1" guideline spacing), you would divide by ¾" … that’s how many shingles to buy. Remember, it is always better to have some left over than to run short, so get extra and keep the leftovers for the next project.
