How To Calculate Materials for Roofing

How many squares do you need for a new roof. I go over how to calculate how many squares you need of composition roofing for a roof. Some drone footage of the roof getting installed and the mistake I made on my roof. How to find the area of a triangle, rectangle, trapezoid, and parallelogram.

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! I really appreciate you. I’m interviewing for a Manager in Training position for a top roofing company tomorrow, and the ad said NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY. My background is in Customer Service and Logistics, permits, computer stuff. Never once worked on a house aside from building pools, so I’m trying my best to prepare for this interview so I can be ahead of the game.

Wait, so the square with the line in the middle is notation for squares, or is it notation for square feet?

[@ColfaxMath]

It is for square feet,

[@moneygrowz]

isn't the height 15? for the trapizoid?

[@ColfaxMath]

No the height of the triangle.os 15, but the height of the trapezoid is 20 from half of the 40

[@jordanmanntz692]

This is missing slope correction. Plus, there is additional waste that the sum needs to be multiplied by (not advocating for bundled waste %).

[@ColfaxMath]

Very true
