How to measure your house for a new roof estimate.
- If your house is 45 feet across the front by 36 feet down the side that equals 1620 square feet.
- Nest you have to allow for the pitch or angle of the roof. If the roof has a low slope like a 3/12 pitch you would multiply the total square feet of the roof by 1.03% this equals 1668.60 square feet to cover the house with this pitch.
- Most roofing contractors allow 10% to 15% for waste, so we will go with 12% waste, 12% of 1668.60 is 200,23 square feet. add that to our running total of 1668.60 equals 1868.83 square feet.
- All roofers will talk to you in "Roof Square" a roof square (100 square feet) is the total square feet divided by 100 so this roofing project is 18.69 roof squares.
- Net round that number up to 19 roof squares.
- This will get you the amount of shingles and underlayment you will need.
- Next do you need to remove the old roofing? A roof tear off is priced by the pitch, how many layers and the surrounding areas of the house. I would not put more then 2 layers on a house.
- Finally picking out the new shingles. so multiply the total roofing squares, times the shingle price per roof square.
Using our roof calculator this roof should cost around $7950.
