Roof estimator

How big is my roof?

Roofers measure in “squares” — 100 sq ft each. Punch in a few numbers and get a rough idea of the size of the job before we ever come out.

How big is my roof?

Answer what you can — a rough guess beats a blank. We'll measure for real before quoting.

Property type

Outside walls, not living area. Don't know? Living sq ft ÷ stories ≈ footprint — a 1,500 sq ft ranch is about 50 × 30.

* This is a rough estimate calculated from the numbers you entered, using standard pitch and waste factors. It is not a measurement, a quote, or a price. Actual roof area, material quantities, tear-off, decking, flashing, ventilation, and access all affect the real cost and are only determined by an on-site inspection by Apex Exteriors Services. Estimates are for informational purposes only and do not create any obligation on either party.

How it works

What the numbers mean.

Squares

One square = 100 sq ft of roof surface. A typical Logan County ranch is 15–25 squares; a two-story with a garage is 25–40.

Pitch

Steeper roofs have more surface than their footprint — a 6/12 pitch adds about 12%, a 12/12 adds 41%. Steep roofs also take more setup to work safely.

Complexity

Every gable, valley, dormer, and chimney adds cuts, flashing, and waste. Simple roofs run ~10% waste; cut-up roofs run 15–20%.
