You can buy roofing shingles from Home Depot, Lowe’s, specialty distributors, or manufacturer websites. But buying shingles alone only solves half the problem — installation is 50–60% of the cost. Roofana lets you buy a complete, installed roof online in about 60 seconds at roofana.com — materials, certified crews, and a 35-year warranty. No salesman.

  • Big-box stores sell shingles online but selection is limited.
  • Specialty distributors carry full catalogs but require contractor accounts.
  • Manufacturer sites are great research tools but don’t sell direct.
  • Buying shingles alone doesn’t include installation, and DIY voids warranties.
  • Buying the full roof online — materials plus certified install — is now possible.

Big-Box Retailers

Home Depot and Lowe’s sell GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed shingles online. Good for DIYers; limited selection.

Specialty Distributors

Beacon and ABC Supply carry everything but are wholesale-to-contractor.

The Real Question: Shingles or a Roof?

Installation represents 50–60% of a roof replacement project. And warranties require certified crew installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it cheaper to buy shingles myself?
Rarely. Contractors buy at 15–30% below retail.

What brand is best?
GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed are the big three. Installation quality matters more than brand.

Can I install shingles myself?
Legal in most places but voids workmanship warranties and is physically dangerous.
