When looking at roofing materials prices the term per square is used to describe a 10x10 area 100 square feet.
Roof area reroof 100 sq ft.
Some customers have also reported paying as much as 22 000 for a roof replacement and some companies charge as much as 25 000 for a new roof.
That said on average most contractors will charge between 3 50 and 5 50 per square foot or 350 to 550 per square 100 sq ft to install or replace an asphalt shingle roof on a typical house.
As a rule of thumb there are 3 bundles to a square assuming that you are using three tab strip shingles.
The average roof is 3 000 square feet or around 30 squares.
A roof s pitch is determined by how much it rises vertically for every foot it runs horizontally.
Get the square footage of roof and divide it by 100 and it will give the number of squares you need and for every decimal number over 3 buy a bundle to achieve the amount of material.
If you are replacing your current roof add 125 to 500 per roofing square for old roof removal.
However shingles are packaged in a way that they are light enough for the average person to carry around.

A square simply refers to a 10 x 10 square of roofing.
Using the aggregate area of these simple shapes can yield a more accurate roof area to be used with the roofing.
Roofing cost per square foot.
A square of shingles is the number of shingles needed to cover 100 sq feet of roof area.
Thus at the mid point of the above price range you can expect to pay about 4 50 per sq.
To do that simply multiply drainage area calculated earlier by roof pitch factor and rainfall intensity.
Roofing material is estimated by the square which is equal to 100 square feet.
The calculator cannot account for complex shapes based on a measurement of square footage alone.
Or 450 per square to replace an asphalt shingle roof on a typical single family house.
The national average cost to replace or install a roof is 6 771 and prices typically range from 4 700 to 9 200.
The area calculator can be used to calculate the area of a variety of simple shapes that together can comprise the area of the roof.
After you have calculated the square footage use following calculations.
Thus a moderate 6 in 12 roof pitch means that the roof rises 6 inches vertically for every 12 horizontal inches it runs.
1square of roofing covers 100 square feet of roof a bundle is 1 3 of a square.
For instance if the roof is 1550 square feet then it is 16 squares.
When calculating roofing costs per square asphalt shingles run from 350 and 500 per square metal or tin roofs costs 600 to 1 200 per square and concrete or clay costs between 1 200 and 1 800 per square.
