Takeoffs & estimating

Roofing takeoffs

Roofers and roofing suppliers send us the plans, and we send back true roof areas in squares, plus every ridge, hip, valley, flashing and eavestrough run, so you can bid and order with confidence.

What we measure

  • Asphalt shingle roofs
  • Standing-seam and steel roofing
  • Flat roofs in modified bitumen, TPO or EPDM
  • Flashings, drip edge and underlayment
  • Eavestroughs, downspouts and gutter guards

Measured from the pitch

Plan area understates a pitched roof. We calculate each plane from its pitch and length, so the squares, the linear footage and the flashings reflect what goes on the roof rather than what shows on the plan.

Questions we are asked

Do you give quantities in squares?

Yes. Shingle and steel areas are given in squares, with linear footage for ridges, valleys, drip edge and eavestroughs.
