Roofer gave me a rough estimate of my roof size. 40 square is the
measurement. Is a square equivilent to a bundle of shingles? It
seems I can't get the terminology right while making a search.


Others have explained it. 40 square though? Quite a bit of roof. How
big a house is this?



Roughly 1800 sq. ft. rancher. Does that seem too much?


If the pitch is very low, the number might be in range if the roofer
simply wrote 40 square
when he meant 40 bundles but still not right. I found links to a roof
slope site that shows
