Measure the length of the roof at its base along one side of your house. Use a ladder, if necessary, to get the most accurate measurement. Measure along the roof’s angle to get the width of your first roof area. Multiply the length by the width to get the area in square feet. Follow us for more details please.

How to use the google maps area calculator tool to measure a roof
Special precautions must be taken when measuring the area of a roof. The images that appear on google maps are often at a slight angle, which combined with the angle of a roof can cause errors. For this reason it is best to outline the roof at points which are all at the same elevation. On a simple house for instance you would only click on the corners of the roof and not on any points along the peak as that would cause an error. After measuring the area of the footprint you can estimate the actual roof area based on the angle of the roof. Similarly if you using the area calculator tool to measure a roof with multiple levels, you should do the individual section separately. The google maps area calculator is not 100% accurate. Do not rely on this tool as your only resource in making important decisions.
