How to use this roofing calculator

Step 1: For best results, we recommend that you take ground dimensions of your roof: using a 100 feet tape measure. Take measurements of the outside perimeter of your home’s exterior walls and plug in the numbers into the calculator.

Step 2: Once you’ve measured you house ground dimensions, measure the roof pitch, using level + tape measure or simple Pythagorean theory – you can use this roof pitch calculation guide to get most accurate roof slope measurements.

Step 3: Choose appropriate roof difficulty, based on you actual roof construction.

Step 5: Choose the number of existing roof layers that will have to be removed before a metal roof is installed. Keep in mind that most local building codes allow up-to 2 layers of roofing materials, so a metal roof can usually be installed over 1 layer of asphalt shingles, but a standing seam roofing sheets should always be installed over a clean roof deck. Otherwise the singles will punch through the metal panels and you will see ugly horizontal lines – the so called “metal roof telegraphing effect”.

Step 5: Choose the number of skylights and chimneys that will have to be flashed by the metal roofing contractor.

Step 6: Click the “calculate roofing prices” button and the roof prices will appear right bellow the button. Sometimes it takes a few seconds for results to appear, so be patient. Roof calculator results will include prices, estimated energy savings and estimated roof lifespan, for most common metal roofing materials and systems.
