Hello, here again with another tip!
When deciding to have a new roof installed, siding, deck, or really anything having to do with your home, you want to calculate by the “Square.” What do I mean by that?
I’ll break it down for you like this:
Say your home is 32′Long by 24′Width 24′ Height, you want to times Length x Width x Height x 2 = Total square footage of your home. As a contractor in Massachusetts, I’ll break it down to the “Square.” For example 1 square = 100 square ft.
So, if we use the dimensions given above, that home would equal: 36,864 square feet or, like I would say 37 squares.
When measuring your roof, you would use the Length x Width approach only. For example 32′ length x 24′ width x 2 = 16 squares.
Side note: Always round up to a full 100 squares for added waste or 10%
