A standard roll of 30 lb roofing paper typically contains about 1,000 square feet of material. Given that the width of the roll is usually 36 inches (3 feet), you can calculate the lineal feet by dividing the total square footage by the width in feet. Therefore, a roll of 30 lb roofing paper generally provides approximately 333 lineal feet.
Easy way to figure it: If the roll is 3 feet by 100 feet, it would cover 300 square feet. But you have to overlap it about 6 inches at top and bottom, so once you subtract that, it would cover about 200 square feet., When figuring a job, add some for overlap at valleys, chimneys, etc. . . Hope this helps. A standard roll of 30# felt covers 216 square feet; one-half the area of a roll of 15# felt, which covers 432 square feet. Rows are overlapped 2 inches, not 6 inches.
