@@RoxRoofing aye I have a question o drawing the square footage from somewhere that isn't a perfect square but basically part a valley. It's on a trailer n where the porch comes out of. 3 sides of it are square. The peak side is longer that the bottom but the last side of the square is an angle. So I hope you can understand what I'm saying. You'll see this on any home but I'm wondering how of get the square footing out of it
Thank you, straight to the point very clear. One of the best explanations on how to measure a roof on YT. I'm getting ready to do my roof and not sure if I will hire someone or do it myself. This will come in handy.
thanks and you're welcome. respectfully, i recommended hiring a pro for your roof replacement. but if you feel up to the challenge and have the energy for that go for it!
I know how to do it, but why don't you do a video showing people how to figure out the pitch of the roof are in non roofer terms the steepness. I take the 1 foot level and a tape measure, and put the level anywhere on the roof and doesn't have to be at the Pekin doesn't have to be at the edge just put it on the roof and then pick it up until it's level and measure from the end of it on the bottom of the level and from that point down to where it hits the roof however many inches that roof is away from the end of the one foot level say it's eight inches that means you would have a 8-12 pitch
I really appreciate you explaining this. I couldn't find any answers anywhere, and when I would ask a Roofer what they charged, they wouldn't explain. Thanks again. And it is weird that theres a "Roof Square".
Another idea would be the importance of tar paper, ice and water shield in the valleys and hips, anywhere that's heated, most people use it all over the whole roof in Vermont, which I really don't understand but it's not necessary oh, I did a garage roof on a brand-new build 22 years ago the only place I used tire paper was on the edge, and that wasn't because of me it was the garage owner didn't have the money to do it so we'd only put a strip on the bottom and I strip on the rake and the rest of shingles and it has not leaked yet! I'm going to figure out what state you live in and do you might have a new application in your mailbox, depending on what state you live in I'll show you how to run a roofing crew I used to rip and tear 10 square of roofing shingles a day, not all the time but I could do it if I had to and I have done it!

Great question . - it's 40" x 40" so its would actually be, 3.33'x3.33'= 11.1 sqft. yes you would remove the chimney portion, technically. its not a large area. Just roll with it. if its was 160 sq ft, i would remove it completely, 11 sq ft is not a big deal for me.
Thank you so much for explaining this. As a woman not really knowing how to measure a roof, this hands down was the best. It was easy to understand and straight to the point.
Thanks, I'm also a woman building in my home country. Learning all this so that no one can trick, dupe, scam or con me of my hard earned cash. But boy, dontcha wish you could do this by yourself? GRRRRRR! this is one of those times you wish you were born male.
I am building a 12x16 shed flat roof with lean and 1 foot over hang all around I am trying to figure out how many sheets of plywood would I need for my roof I'm trying to pre-order everything at once
okay so what i would do is multiply 12x16= 192. each 4x8 sheet is 32 sqft. so divide 32 / 192 = (6ea) so figure how many sheets you will need, i always add 5 more sheets on large jobs for waste. With your small job at 12x16, 7 sheets should be enough.
I’m new to the roofing industry what do you recommend would help me on a roof with many hips and valleys. I use eagle view or iRoof but sometimes there are trees in the way and I can’t get a clear picture.
Great question, Hector. Hand measure is probably the best and time consuming with limited satellite view like EV or iroofing. For waste factoring, after we get our hand or satellite measurements, for cut roofs, we usually add 2 sqft per LF of valley, hip and rakes. If the LF for all totals 260 lf, multiply by 2. This gives you your waste for field. Does not include starter or caps. Hope this helps.
All shingle bundles no matter the type cover 33 square feet per bundle. So as we say 3 bundles per 100 square feet ( do to pitch and waste) as to one roofing square. Never heard of a roofing square in my life, I only use real math not made up.@@Dethdevastation
You're very precise sir because I wouldn't have bothered with that chimney in the measurements I mean you got to have shingles for capping and all that so oh, I would have just been the straight measurement but that shows I'm not as professional as you and you are professional I appreciate it, but to me it's not necessary
Not sure what your asking, exactly. You can either take a wheel and measure the lf or a tape measure. In the video I have two ridges, one was 34lf other was 10lf, total is 44lf. For material purposes, one bundle of standard caps will yield about 30lf. In my vidoes case, I would need two (2) bundles of cap to complete the ridge. Hope this helps. PLEASE let me know if you have any other questions, - Roc
So multiplying 1860 by .15 got me to 279 so I did 18.6x.15 and got 2.79 which one was the correct way to multiply? And what exactly is the 279 for, Is that money for the extra materials?
so either way is the same result. 1860 x .15 = 279 sqft or 18.60 x .15 = 2.79 sq. | total roof squares is 21.39 sq. | The extra 2.79 sq. is for waste, starter and ridge caps.
Let me show you the Houston TX northside way of estimating a roof.... Step 1 Get the craziest vato on the roof and estimate how many 4 x 8 sheets of decking plywood it took to make the roof Step 2 Know it takes about 1 bundle of shingles per sheet of plywood. 🤫 Your welcome vatos
The 15% would be area and waste of shingles. Rule of thumb is 10% for gable and 15% for hip, BUT it’s it’s super cut has lots of valleys and hips, then I would do a hand measure to get a more accurate waste number.
54/55 bundles 👍 most bundles have about 25 individual shingles. Varies from manufacture to manufacture. Each standard bundle covers 0.33 sqft. 3 bundles covers 100 sqft or (1 roof SQ)
it's the same to calculate the AREA, but with metal you have waste from seams, heming, valleys, etc. plus trim like: caps, hips, valleys, and others. Don't use this video for metal.
We don’t do “waterproofing”. Just roofing flat roofs, shingle, tile and metal roofing. More about roofing visit, Roofing Insights or Contractor Coach. Waterproofing is a different game.
What do you mean by that?... while on the roof - when you measure, the pitch is included. If you’re asking how to calculate the pitch, you get a “pitch gage” from your roofing supply store. Not sure what you’re asking, please clarify.
@@MrLandonian Pitch doesn't matter when you are measuring from the roof top, only if you are measuring from the ground. Easy way to think is if you have a full sheet of plywood, which is 4x8 (32 sq ft). If you barely lift one side of it off the ground, it is still 4x8. If you raise it at a 45 deg angle, it is still 4x8. If you hold it straight up, it is still 4x8. All 4x8 just with different pitches.
First of all, the Eve is on the horizontal plane on the gutters edge, and the rake extends from the eve to the ridge. In other words, what you are pointing at is not called an eve. It is called a rake.
Take your final SQ FT calculation and multiply it by anything from 10-15% and then add that number to your original total sq footage to get your waste materials included in the total.
it depends where you live. cost depends on material cost, labor cost, overhead and profit. price in texas to remove and replace ranges from $2.50 - $3.5 sqft plus. it really depends on the work needed.
Good job right there sir.Am from Nigeria (Civil Engineering student) want to major on roofing job. How do I estimate a roofing job given a drawing like the one I have with me
The area on this roof is 18.6 sq x 10% for caps, starter and waste for gable roofs. This bumps it to 20.46 sq. I would round up to 21 sq for bidding purposes. -- To answer your question, 18sq = 54 bundles. 👍
not sure what you mean. you can take a wheel or a tape measure and get the linear feet. we always add 1 sqft per lf for waste factor for valleys and hips
Is it a hip or a gable? If the area is 14.44 and it’s a simple hip or gable roof. Do 14.44 x 1.15= 16.66 16.66 x 3 = 50 bundles total Now back out your starter and caps, what’s left over will give you your field shingles.
@@ramdaddy8557some house have triangle roofs so you would use the mathematical formula for triangles he is calculating squares some roofs have squares and triangles he is calculating the area of the shape in this instance it’s a gable which is made up of two squares so length times height this is an easy one.

Good day, how would I calculate the area of a triangular part of a hip roof with span of 43.5' and a common rafter of 36.4'?
Area of a triangle
.5 x (height x base)= area
4' height x 3' base x .5 = 6
Circumference of a triangle
A + b + c = circumference
Might be dumb question but does this apply to metal roofing too?
it's the same to calculate the AREA, but with metal you have waste from seams, heming, valleys, etc. plus trim like: caps, hips, valleys, and others. Don't use this video for metal.
So you needed 65 bundles for that job correct ?
yes just about. With field, starter and caps, we're looking at about, 70 bundles
