Answer:

Explanation:

The drip edge metal Is only used at the bottom edge of roofs - near the gutters. Measure the length and add 10%

Find the square footage of the roof. Measure the length and width of each portion of the roof, multiply the length by width for each plane, and then add the planes together for the total square footage.[1]

If you have a simple gable roof, you’ll only need to measure and sum up the 2 planes of the roof. If your roof has dormers, hips, or other complex elements, don’t forget to take the area of those additional parts of the roof into account.

Because of these slopes and pitches, the square footage of your roof will not be the same as the square footage of your home.[2]

Websites like Eagleview use satellite imagery to help you safely measure your roof.
