How accurate are satellite roof measurements?
In most cases, satellite and aerial roof measurement technology is 99% accurate, if you follow a few simple rules. Achieving accurate roof measurements manually isn’t any different. A manual roof takeoff by one roofer can easily vary from that of another.
How do I find the dimensions of my roof?
Multiply your house length by your house width to get the area. (For example, 40 feet x 30 feet = 1,200 square feet.) Next, multiply the area by your roof’s pitch. (1,200 x 1.05 = 1,260 square feet.)
How are blueprints measured?
- Unroll the blueprint onto a flat surface.
- Find the scale of the drawing.
- Choose a scaled ruler that accurately matches the scale of the drawing.
- Lay the proper scale next to the item on the drawing and take the measurement.
How do you calculate scale drawings?
Method
- Find out what the scale on the drawing is.
- Measure the distance on the drawing using a ruler (or count the number of squares, if that’s an option).
- Multiply the distance you measure by the scale to give the distance in real life.

How do you figure roofing squares?
For an easy up and over, walkable gable roof, you’ll multiply the footprint of the roof by 1.3 to get the square footage of your roof. For a hip roof with a low slope, you’ll multiply the footprint of the roof by 1.4 to get the square footage of your roof.
