ESTIMATING & ORDERING A ROOF (cont.)

From the diagram you completed in Step 1, you are now ready to develop your roofing panel cut list. Each panel covers

36” of area so the only measurements you need are the distance from the eave to the ridge and the ridge length. You can

then determine the number of panels needed by dividing the ridge length by the panel coverage. (See example Diagram

A below.)

The length from the eave to the ridge is 12’. The length of the ridge is 25’; therefore, the number of panels to complete

one side of the house is 25 ÷ 3 = 9 pcs. Your materials list should look like Sample “B”.

Section A—9 pcs. X 12’

Now look at your roof diagram and figure out your next section of roof. Refer back to Diagram A. Section B of this

sample roof is the same as Section A. Your materials list should now look like Sample C below.

Section A—9 pcs. X 12’

Section B—9 pcs. X 12’

If your home has hips or valleys, refer to Diagram 1A below.
