To find your roof’s total square footage:

Measure the length and width of each plane on the roof (including dormers) then multiply length times width.
Add the square footage of each of the planes together.

Measure the base area of your property

That will be the roof base width. Then, measure the distance of the other side of the structure from the edge of the eave to the other. That will be the roof base length. Multiply those figures together to get an estimate of the base area for the roof structure.

What’s the pitch of a roof?

Roof pitch (or slope) tells you how many inches the roof rises for every 12 inches in depth. An Example of a roof pitch would be a “6/12 pitch” which means that the roof rises 6 ” for every 12″ inward towards the peak (or ridge). There are two suggested ways to measure a roof pitch. Follow Us!

Is a 4/12 roof pitch good?

As well, a slope of 4:12 is most commonly considered the lowest slope for “standard shingle installations”. Most manufacturer and industry recommendations require, or at the very least recommend, special underlayment or other considerations on roofs between 2:12 and 4:12.

Can drones measure roofs?

Drones present a unique opportunity for getting a clear view of your rooftop and allowing you to get precise roof measurements. A variety of roof measuring applications and programs already take advantage of high-resolution drone imagery to get accurate roof measurements.

Can drones measure distance?

Similar to the method for measuring height, a typical drone can also be used to give a “close-enough” distance measurement. On the screen of the controller, there is usually a reading for distance, and this would mean the distance of the drone from the controller, and presumably from where you are standing.

What is the linear feet of a 12×12 room?

Multiply the length times the width of the room to get the room square footage. 12 ft x 12 in/ft (width of the room) = 144 in. So the total linear footage of the 1 x 12 boards is found by multiplying 5 (boards) by 6 (feet) which equals 30 linear feet.
