Roof Estimate Per Square

This gives us a 3d roof area of 1 625 sq ft.

Roof estimate per square.

The calculator cannot account for complex shapes based on a measurement of square footage alone. Assuming this is a hip roof we multiply this by 1 1 which gives us roughly 18 squares or 1 800 square feet of the roof surface. In cases where a roof has a complex shape such as in the image to the right measuring the dimensions and areas of each part of the roof to calculate total area will result in a more accurate measurement of area. You will need to express this size in terms of square feet.

To find the squares divide the overall roof area by 100 and then round up. This is simply 100 square feet of roof. Low average and high figures for the estimator tool. Now assuming an average pitch of 9 12 we multiply the 2d area of 1 300 by 1 25.

The first step in a free roofing estimate is measuring the roof dimensions. Roofing contractors estimate projects and materials by the square so it is crucial to find this measurement to accurately estimate the amount of material needed. It will display 3 figures. A square simply refers to a 10 x 10 square of roofing.

Keep in mind that the average size of a roof is 1 700 square feet so your total will likely be 10 higher or lower than this figure. Steep roofs measure your house at ground level then add in the roof s overhang for greater accuracy. If your roof is flat or has no more than a 3 in 12 pitch you can calculate its total square footage by simply multiplying the length by the width. You can use the roofing calculator below to get a rough estimate of roofing costs per square foot depending on the type of roofing material.
