When talking about the area of a roof, remember that it is not the same as the square footage of the structure. For example a 20 x 30' building with a 12" overhang and a 4/12 pitch will have 736 sq ft of roof vs only 600 sq ft of slab.
One square of shingles covers 100 square feet. 15 year shingles come 3 bundles to a square. 25 year come 4 bundles to a square.

How many squares of shingles will it take to cover a 28 by 60?
I will assume that you mean 28 x 60 feet which would be 1680 square feet. A square of asphalt shingles is normally 100 square feet of coverage. Therefore, it would require approximately 17 squares of asphalt shingles to cover the specified area.An allowance of 5 to 10 percent should also be made for waste. Additional material will be required to cover ridges, valleys, and other areas special areas.Lowes and Home Depot have a good selection of books of roofing.

How many squaresof shingles to cover 672 sq ft?
That depends on the size of the shingles. ************************************************************** Size of shingles makes no difference. Shingles are sold by the bundle and the amount of bundles per square depends on the weight of the shingles. So you could have 3 bundles, 4 bundles or 5 bundles per square but they still add up to a (100 sq ft) square. The only difference would be if you are dealing with metric shingles, which is not going to make a big difference in the area covered. A square of shingles covers 100 sq ft. So for a 672 sq ft roof you will need 7 squares. Dave

When you install shingles over an old layer of shingles do you have to put down felt or do you put the new layer of shingles directly over the old layer?
With composition shingles, no felt is necessary between shingle layers. When the exposure of the shingles is the same as the old exposure, the bottom edge of the old shingles is used as a guide for the upper edge of the new shingles in placement. This ability to place the shingles would be lost if covered with felt.
How many squares of shingles do you need to cover 1900 ft roof?
One square covers 100 square feet, so to cover 1900 square feet of roof you would need 19 squares. However, you also need "starter shingles" and "hip and ridge" shingles, plus you need to have a few extras because of waste from cutting angles. Starter shingles go around the perimeter of the roof as a bottom layer for the first course of shingles. Hip and ridge shingles go, as you might expect, on the hips and ridges. In order to know for sure the exact quantity you would need for the entire roofing job you have to measure all of these areas.
