Your house is 1350 square feet how many shingles do you need?
The square footage of your house is not the same as the square footage of your roof if there is any pitch. If you are asking aboutasphalt shingles, generally each bundle covers 33.3 square feet. Therefore find the square footage of your roof, divide it by 33.3 to find the number of bundles, then multiply the original square footage by 5-10% to get the number of additional bundles for cutoffs and starter strip. The variation in percentage accounts for the number and length of valleys of the roof. Example:[@5%]roof =1500 ft2 --> (1500/33.3=45.05) (1500x.05=75 -->75/33.3=2.25)45.05 + 2.25= (48) bundles
Is the square footage of your roof the same as the square footage of your home?
Unless you have a flat roof, no; the surface area of the roof will be larger than the ground area of the building.
My home is 1100 square feet what is the roof's square footage?
You cannot calculate the square footage of a house roof like this (unless you have a flat roof). The simplest way would be to go up on your roof and measure its different surfaces, however if you dont want to do that, you would need to know several differen things to calculate the surface area -- such as the pitch and angel -- how much hangover you have. Basically you should save yourself time and go up on your roof and measure it
What is the formula for figuring roofing square?
a roofing square is 100 sf. There are formulas out there that allow you to use the pitch and outer dimensions of the roof to figure out the number of squares. If not, calculate the square footage and divide by 100 - that's the number of squares you have...
How do you find the square footage of a roof?
To find the sq. ft of a roof you have to measure the length and the width and multiply those figures together. Then you divide that figure by 100 and it will tell you how many squares of shingles it will take to cover it.

How do you figure roof square footage for a 6 12 pitch 10ft long by 12 ft wide porch addition to a 6 12 pitch roof?
If you do not have access to a roof framing book, I would use a tape and measure it. Length x width = square footage. My book says you should come up with : 11.33 x 12 = 135.96 sq ft

from the peak down to the beginning of the gutter --and then from side to side and then multiply this number x 2 since there are two sides on the roof-- then devide the total you get by 100 and you will find out how many square.
