A SMARTER START

Thinking About Replacing Your Roof Yourself?

For a capable homeowner, taking on a roofing project can mean avoiding some installation labor costs—and the satisfaction of investing your own effort in your home.

The best place to begin is a realistic plan: assess the roof, set a budget and choose a compatible roofing system. Buying quality roofing materials directly from a local supplier gives you another option beyond the big-box aisle.

  • Plan the materials before you commit to the work.
  • Account for tools, disposal and possible decking repairs.
  • Know which parts of the project need professional help.

A LITTLE PLANNING GOES A LONG WAY

Estimate the Materials for Your DIY Roof

Not sure how many roofing shingles you'll need? Start with a quick estimate, then let Dallwig Brothers help you prepare a materials quote for your project.

Your project at a glance

No contact details needed.

Use the actual sloped roof surface area, not your home's interior floor area. Estimate from plans or measurements obtained safely; pitch changes the surface area.

Roof complexity

Changing complexity suggests 10%, 15% or 20% waste. You can override it. These are preliminary planning allowances, not guaranteed requirements.

YOUR PRELIMINARY MATERIALS ESTIMATE

rounded up for planning
Adjusted roof coverage2,300 sq. ft.
Selected waste allowance15%
One roofing square = 100 sq. ft.

Bundle counts depend on the specific shingle's coverage. We'll confirm the correct product quantities with your quote.

The rest of your roofing system matters.

Underlayment, starter materials, ridge caps, flashing, ventilation, fasteners and other accessories need a project-specific assessment. They are not calculated here.

Can homeowners buy professional roofing supplies from Dallwig Brothers?

Yes. Dallwig Brothers works with homeowners as well as contractors. Contact our Salem team to discuss products and supplies for your roof replacement or repair.

What materials do I need to replace my own roof?

A roofing system may include shingles, underlayment, starter material, ridge caps, flashing, drip edge, ventilation components, fasteners and compatible sealants. The full list depends on your roof, chosen products and manufacturer requirements. Learn about the layers of a roof.

How much does it cost to replace a roof yourself?

DIY roof replacement cost depends on roof surface area, materials, roof complexity and the existing roof condition. Budget for tools, safety equipment, disposal, any permits and possible decking repairs, in addition to supplies. Avoiding installation labor may reduce costs, but savings are not guaranteed. Request current material pricing for your project.

Can I legally replace my own roof in Oregon?

Owner-performed work may be possible, but requirements vary by jurisdiction and project scope. Before starting, contact the building department for your property about permits, inspections and any other restrictions. Structural repairs or replacement of sheathing can change the requirements. See Oregon Building Codes Division permit guidance.

How do I calculate how many roofing shingles I need?

Start with actual roof surface area, add a planning waste allowance and divide by 100 to find roofing squares. For example, 2,000 square feet plus 15% waste is 2,300 square feet, or 23 squares. Our roofing material calculator rounds up to whole planning squares. Shingle bundles require the selected product’s coverage rate; do not assume all products cover the same area.

Can I buy roofing materials without hiring a roofing contractor?

Yes. Homeowners can contact Dallwig Brothers directly about roofing materials. Whether the work is suitable to do yourself is a separate decision involving skills, fall protection, roof condition and local requirements.

Does Dallwig Brothers install roofs?

No. Dallwig Brothers supplies roofing materials and building supplies rather than performing roofing installations. For installation work, consult a qualified roofing contractor.

Can I request a quote for my DIY roofing materials?

Yes. Use the form below or call 503-390-5511. Share your city, project type, roof size and product preferences. Your estimator results can accompany the request, and the team can help discuss a project-specific materials list.
