Squares to Bundles (Precision Order Tool)

A 6-nail pattern is mandatory in 'High Wind' zones where the design wind speed exceeds 110 mph. Using 6 nails instead of 4 increases the shingles' wind-uplift rating (often to 130 mph), protecting your company from storm-related liability claims.

Nailing above the designated strip ('High-Nailing') is the leading cause of shingle blow-offs and automatically voids the manufacturer's warranty. Enforcing a strict 'Nail in the Zone' policy for your crews is the best way to prevent insurance disputes.

The cost difference for an extra thousand nails is less than $30. For a roofing business, this is the cheapest 'insurance policy' available. A 6-nail pattern drastically reduces callbacks for wind damage, which can cost $500+ in labor alone.
