Figure your sq footage. One square covers 100 sq ft, but you'll have some waste. You can give your measurements to the lumber yard and they'll figure it out. You can give them your house dimensions, your overhang sizes, and your roof pitch, if you know it.

There are many ways in which to measure a roof. This section will show one method of how to properly do it. We’ll express our final answer in "squares". In all roofing except polyurethane foam, roofers express Area in "squares".
1 square = 100 square feet
Before you get started, you need to know some simple geometry. The base length (b) times the height (h) of any triangle is twice its area (A). So if you divide the product of the base and height by two, then you have the area of a triangle.
(bÃh)/2 = Area
