Roofing granules source?

[Techguy]

Where can I buy mineral roofing granules like the kind used on asphalt shingles?

Thanks

Any good commercial supply house will carry a few basic colors. A good roofer uses it to sprinkle on the hot tar that oozes at the edge of the modified bitumen sheets.

Not sure what you need them for or how much you need, but if it's to cover small spots on your existing shingle roof you can usually find a small amount in your gutters. If you find a large amount, clean your gutters more often and/or start thinking about a new roof.
