How to estimate how much material will be needed.

Knowing how much material you need will help you have an estimate of what your new roof will cost.

Professionals refer to how many squares are in a roof.  A roofing square is 100 square foot area. There are usually three three tab bundles of shingle for every square on your roof.

To determine how many squares your roof is you multiply the length and width of each section of your roof. This will give you the square feet of each section. Add up the total of each sections and divide by 100.  Now add 15% to allow for waste.  This will be the amount of squares of material needed for your roof.

Now you will need to factor in the most of the drip edge, the cost of ice and water shield, the cost of the underlayment (roofing felt in most cases). There is also the metal flashing that is needed around pipes, chimneys, skylights and other fixtures on the roof.

Understanding the pitch or steepness of your roof, the height of the roof,  the number roof valleys, hips and levels of roofing will factor into material cost and labor cost as well.

Now that you know the measurement of your roof, understand the different factors will effect the material costs as well as labor costs you will need to take into consideration the material you select.
