To do this, measure the length and width of each plane on the roof, including dormers. Then, multiply length x width to get the square footage of each plane. Finally, calculate your roof’s total square footage by simply adding the square footage of each of the planes together.

For example, if you want to figure out the actual length of a common rafter with a plan length of 10′ for a “10 in 12” roof you would simply multiply the plant length by the “10 in 12” factor for common rafters. Therefore, the actual length would be 10′ x 1.302 = 13.02′.

A roofing square is an area of roof that measures 10 by 10 feet to make up a total of 100 square ft. This critical unit of measurement helps your contractor determine how much material they’ll need to order for your roofing project, from underlayment to bundles of roof shingles.

Since there are twenty six shingles in a bundle of twenty year shingles (which is fine for starters and edges), divide the result by twenty six. For the number of ridge caps, multiply the length of the hip or ridge by twelve and divide it by five. This house is 1000 square feet. It requires 18 squares of shingles.

How Many Bundles of Shingles Will You Need. The average bundle of shingles covers 33.3 ft², so three bundles of shingles are needed per square.
