Roofing Tear-Off Weight Guide

Estimate shingle weight before you book. Here is what we explain to customers every day on the phone.

Per square

One square (100 sq ft) of asphalt shingles weighs roughly 250 to 400 pounds per layer.

Multiple layers

Two layers can double the weight; plan a larger weight allowance.

Tile roofs

Clay and concrete tile is much heavier and often needs a dedicated heavy-debris container.

Pro tip: Share your roof size and layer count when you call so we can quote accurately.
