A roofing shingle of the solid variety marked for easy installation and a method of applying such solid shingles with overlapping joints. The solid shingle is made with a base of either a felt or a fiberglass material covered with asphalt and crushed mineral granules with its upper portion, approximately fifty-five percent of the shingle width, covered by the next higher row of shingles. Three linear marks are located on the upper portion each with a length substantially as long as the width of the upper portion to indicate the center line of the shingle and the one-third and two-third locations from each end. Two shorter linear marks, substantially two inches from the end of the shingle, are located on the upper portion to designate overlap.

A method of applying solid roof singles of rectangular shape to the roof of a structure, each shingle having two minor edges and two major edges and an upper portion to be located remotely from the lower edge of the roof, said method comprising: placing a first solid roof shingle in a first course with a major edge of the shingle along the lower edge of a roof with a minor edge of the shingle abutting a side edge of the roof; placing a third solid roof shingle in the first course along the lower edge of the roof aligned with the first shingle, said third solid roof shingle being of full length, the first shingle and the third shingle being spaced from one another a distance of substantially one-third the length of a shingle of full length; placing a second solid roof shingle in the first course along the lower edge of the roof aligned with both the first shingle and the third shingle, said second solid roof shingle having a length of substantially one-half the length of a shingle of full length, an overlap being formed between said first shingle and said second shingle and another overlap being formed between said third shingle and said second shingle, both of said overlaps being substantially equal; inserting a nail through the overlap of the first and second shingles and a nail through the overlap of the second and third shingles, each nail being inserted in the upper portion of the shingles remote from the lower edge of the roof; placing a first solid roof shingle in a second course overlapping the upper portion of the first course, said first solid shingle in the second course abutting the same side edge of the roof as the first shingle of the first course; placing a third solid roof shingle in the second course overlapping the upper portion of the first course and aligned with the first shingle of the second course, said third solid roof shingle of the second course being of full length, the first shingle and the third shingle of the second course being spaced from one another a distance of substantially one-third the length of a shingle of full length; placing a second solid roof shingle in the second course overlapping the upper portion of the first course aligned with both the first and the third shingle of the second course, said second solid roof shingle having a length of substantially one-half the length of a shingle of full length, an overlap being formed between said first shingle and said second shingle and another overlap being formed between said third shingle and said second shingle, both of said overlaps being substantially equal; and inserting a nail through the overlap of the first and second shingle of the second course and a nail through the overlap of the second and third shingles of the second course, each nail being inserted in the upper portion of the shingles remote from the lower edge of the roof.
