Roof materials are measured in ‘squares’, with 100 square feet equaling one square. After that, the roofing squares are separated into three bundles. When you hire a contractor to build a new roof, they’ll figure out how many squares you’ll need, leaving 10 to 15% extra for waste and cutting to fit your roof’s specific features like hips and valleys, chimneys and other features. As a result, roofing shingles are usually leftover with no apparent purpose. You may find yourself with an extra bundle or two, depending on your agreements and terms with the contractor. Is there anything you can do with roofing shingles that have been left over? Commercial roofing expert Fields Roof Service is here to help!
