To find how much roofing material you need to buy when re-roofing or roofing a new roof, you will have to measure your roof accurately. You don't want to overspend by buying too much. Since shingles may need to match in color, buying too little could result in mismatched coloring because of varying lot numbers that will not look very attractive.

To find the total square footage of your roof, you will measure each plane or gable individually. If it is a single plane, you simply measure and multiply the length by the width to get the square feet. For example, if a single plane is 100 ft. long and 150 ft. wide, you would multiply 100 X 150 to get 15,000 square feet. Measuring the other side, you find the same figures, so you add the two planes together for a total of 30,000 square feet.

If your roof has multiply planes and/or gables, you use the same method. Measure each area individually and add all of them together for the total square footage.

If your roof is extremely steep, you can use a method that will not require your being on the roof's steep slope. To get the length, measure the outside wall and add the length of the overhang. To determine the width, throw a rope over the ridge to the opposite eave and mark the rope at both eaves. Divided in half, this will equal one side's width.

To figure the slope of your roof, you will measure how much the roof rises vertically in a horizontal 12 inches. For example, if in a 12 inch distance the roof rises four inches, you will have a slope of 4 in 12.
