How to use a speedsquarefor angles

The last thing you have to do is to multiply this cost by your roof area and voilà, you now know the total cost of your roof! Remember that the real cost might differ from this value a bit due to waste, so plan ahead and assign more funds to this construction work.

After you've made all of these decisions, it's best to contact your local contractor and ask about the cost of both materials and labor per square meter or square foot of roof area. Remember that this unit price should include all additional elements such as fasteners, as well as the cost of removing all layers and disposing of them (if applicable).

? If you are building a roof, our rafter length calculator may be just what you need. Or if you get a lot of snow where you live and ensure your roof can cope, check out our snow load calculator.

Once you know these values, you will be able to calculate the roof area. Begin by converting the roof pitch to an angle expressed in degrees using the following formulas:

The roofing calculator allows you to determine the area of the gable or shed roof of your house and to accurately estimate its cost. All you have to know are the dimensions of your house and the roof pitch, and this roof cost calculator will do the rest for you. Let's get started!

Once you know the area of the roof, you have to decide on the scope of work. Do you want to build the roof from scratch or maybe replace the old layers? You also need to decide on the finishing material. For example, asphalt shingles will be less expensive than clay tiles.

If you cannot contact any contractor, calculate the cost of materials (for example, by going to the nearest construction store) and multiply this price by 2.5. You will obtain an approximate price including labor, assuming that 40% of the cost is taken by the materials and 60% by the labor.

The most typical cost of roofing falls between $2 and $4 per square foot (including labor). If the price proposed by your contractor deviates from these values, it is advisable to check with other contractors before starting the work.

The roof area is 110.34 sq m. To arrive at this result, divide the house area by the cosine of the roof pitch: 100 / cos(25 deg) = 110.34.

The standard roof pitch is between 10 and 25 degrees. Choose a higher value (steeper roof) if you live in an area where it snows a lot: the snow will slide off the roof more easily.

? Roof pitch is the slope created by the rafters. If you don't know how to calculate it, head to our roof pitch calculator. You can input it either in degrees, as a percentage, or as a ratio of x:12.
