You first have to measure your roof. Shingles are sold by the square. You will have to find the replacement shingle that you are interested in, then take your roof measurement to see how many squares you need. You might think about using a metal roof. They cost more at first, but last a lot longer.
Inspect your Roof without Walking on the Roofing Shingles?
Every roof requires regular inspections so repairs can be made before leaks set in. You can inspect your roof without every setting foot on your shingles by using a pair of binoculars. Staying on the ground and using your binoculars, you can inspect the shingles all around your roof. Look for any that are curled, broken or missing completely. The attic should be inspected for leaks. The binoculars and a good flashlight will allow you to see throughout the attic. Watch closely for rust stains on the nails and condensation. Finally, step back and look at the overall roof. Dark stains running down the shingles indicate a loss of the protective granules and could indicate that it's time for a new roof.
How do you frame a new roof to existing roof?

Why does a new roof leak but not near a chimney or vent stack?
What's above it on the roof ? Water may be running down a joist for a bit. A new roof, properly felted and roofed shouldn't have any place for it to leak.
