Calculate your roof area

Enter the approximate building footprint, roof pitch and eave overhang.

Why roof area is larger than floor area

Roof surface area increases as roof pitch increases. Eave overhangs also extend beyond the exterior walls, which can make the actual roofing area larger than the building footprint.

What is a roofing square?

Roofing contractors commonly use squares when estimating materials. One roofing square equals 100 square feet of roof surface.
