So before i start breaking things down let me say that in 2018 the average cost for roof replacement for a 2500 square foot homeis 8500 to 11500.
How many average square feet average roof on house.
Convert the area to roofing squares.
Link to your exact conversion.
The majority of homes in the us have an asphalt shingle roof.
The average home size in the us is 2500 square feet.
The numbers i used are based on the proposal from my roofer.
Take that to a 12 12 pitch and the actual roof square footage goes up to assuming peaked along the 100 dimension 3896 sf.
100 square feet 1 roofing square 9 290304 cubic meters si unit.
1 ft x 1 ft.
This nominal square footage amount is then multiplied by a factor associated with the roof s pitch.
10 feet by 10 feet 100 square feet.
Measure your house at ground level then add in the roof s overhang for greater accuracy.
For instance a 20x100 house with 3 foot overhangs would have 26x106 foot plan on the roof or 2756 sf for a flat roof.
The total amount of roofing material you need is 17 300 1 730 19 030 square feet.
Roof pitches in.
Using an international foot of exactly 0 3048 meters length.
1 roofing square 9 290304 m 3.
Because each 100 square feet of roof is one roofing square divide the total area from step 1 by 100.
The first step in a free roofing estimate is measuring the roof dimensions.
The answer is the number of roofing squares for the roof.
To conclude the example if your total roofing area is 17 300 square feet your waste allowance would be 17 300 x 1 1 730 square feet.
3698 sq ft with predominant 10 12 pitch.
As an example if your overhang is 12 inches you ll add 2 feet to the overall length and 2 feet to the overall width of the house.
That includes installation and everything.
Average would not be a real meaningful number depends too much on the overhang and the shape of the house and roof slope.
