Can I use my home’s square footage to order roofing materials?

• <div><p>No, you can’t use your home’s square footage. You have to calculate your roof’s square footage, and then you may have to convert your square footage measurement to correspond with how the roofing material is measured. For instance, some roofing is sold in “squares,” which equals the total square footage of the roof divided by 100. Shingles are sold in bundles that may not correspond to the number of squares you need. Metal roofing is sold as sheets, so determine the amount of square feet each panel will cover and then divide the total square footage by the coverage area.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a hip and ridge on a roof?

• <div><p>The ridge is the horizontal line where two sloping roof sections meet at the top, forming the highest point of the roof. A hip, on the other hand, is the external angle formed where two roof sections meet and slope downward toward the walls, typically at a lower angle than the ridge. The ridge runs horizontally along the peak and the hip runs diagonally from the peak to the roof's edges.</p></div>

Q: Can I repair a roof myself?

• <div><p>DIY is possible for minor repairs. Professional services ensure proper sealing and alignment for larger issues.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to build an A-frame roof?

• <div><p>Building an A-frame roof falls under the category of constructing a steep roof. While its structure is relatively simple, its height and requirements for more materials than a shallow roof design can increase its cost significantly. Expect prices for building an A-frame roof to hover around average to slightly above average. </p></div>

Q: Can I use my home’s square footage to order roofing materials?

• <div><p>No, you can&rsquo;t use your home&rsquo;s square footage. You have to calculate your roof&rsquo;s square footage, and then you may have to convert your square footage measurement to correspond with how the roofing material is measured. For instance, some roofing is sold in &ldquo;squares,&rdquo; which equals the total square footage of the roof divided by 100. Shingles are sold in bundles that may not correspond to the number of squares you need. Metal roofing is sold as sheets, so determine the amount of square feet each panel will cover and then divide the total square footage by the coverage area.</p></div>

Q: Are architectural shingles better than impact-resistant?

• <div><p>Architectural shingles and impact-resistant shingles aren&rsquo;t mutually exclusive, which means some architectural shingles are impact-resistant shingles. Architectural shingles are thicker and more durable than standard 3-tab shingles, and they become even stronger when they also have high impact resistance and wind resistance ratings. The most durable shingles for areas with extreme weather are architectural or luxury shingles that have a Class-4 impact resistance and a Class-H wind resistance that can stand up to winds reaching 150 mph.</p></div>
