What Tools Are Needed to Measure A Roof?

The tools needed to measure a roof are relatively simple and straightforward. Generally, all one needs to measure a roof are the following:

  • Measuring Tape
  • Ladder
  • Calculator
  • Pen/pencil
  • Paper
  • Level

If you have those tools on hand, you should be able to discern a crude estimate of your roof’s square footage, pitch, and overall slope.

How to Measure a Roof for Shingles

Don’t worry too much if you don’t know how to measure a roof. Your roofer will measure the surface of your roof to determine the total square footage, which will dictate how many shingles must be purchased to fully cover the roof’s planes.

But if you’re curious how the measuring process works, think back to your geometry classes in school. To calculate a rough estimate, follow these steps:

  1. First, you must measure the length and width of each plane of the roof, including dormers. If the planes aren’t rectangles, this may be complicated.
  2. Next, to calculate the square footage of each rectangular plane, multiply the length by the width. For example, if a plane is 130 feet long and 100 feet wide, it’s 13,000 square feet.
  3. Finally, add together the square footage of each plane to calculate the total square footage of the roof. So if there are two planes that both measure 13,000 square feet, the total square footage of the roof is 26,000 square feet.
