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. Add 3 squares ridge/starters to that. (3 tab)

How many shingles to cover the roof crown?

Shingles vary in dimensions, and sometimes there are specific bundles of shingles made for the sole purpose of ridge coverage. If you are using the house shingles for ridge, take the length of ridge to be covered, divided by the exposure of the shingle to determine the number of ridge pieces needed. Normally you will get three pieces out of one full shingle. Once you determine the number of full shingles, find out how many shingles are in a bundle and purchase the smallest bundle of shingles necessary to complete the job.

For 2800 square feet of roof how many bundles of shingles do you need?

Tough question because an 1800 sq' home has more than 1800 sq' of roof coverage, unless it has a flat roof. In which case, shingles would not be the material of choice. You need to measure the foor deck itself; either by measuring the gutter and rake (gable) edges to find square footage or, figure the pitch of your roof and calculate from there. You also have to factor in any other roof linrs such as hip roofs, shed or gable dormers, etc.. But if your roof was, in fact 1800 sq' you could figure the bundles by knowing that 3 bundles typically cover 100 sq' sooo...100/1800=18; 18x3=54
