How many feet is my roof.

The first step in a free roofing estimate is measuring the roof dimensions. Because each 100 square feet of roof is one roofing square divide the total area from step 1 by 100. The answer is the number of roofing squares for the roof. 3698 sq ft with predominant 10 12 pitch.

You will need to express this size in terms of square feet. Keep in mind that the average size of a roof is 1 700 square feet so your total will likely be 10 higher or lower than this figure.
