Yes, the 15.97 number is correct according to engineering equation above. (The 1.1 multiplier for scrap results in the 17.57 squares).

The house is in a high wind area since we are located at the base of a small moutain. Therefore, a high wind shingle is required. Another reason for considering other materials too (metal, slate, rubber [fake slate], etc).
