Roof size estimator
Move the sliders to see how much roof you've got: surface area, roofing squares and bundles. It's a quick way to understand your quote before anyone climbs a ladder.
Takes about 30 seconds. No email required.
3,306sq ft of roof surface

Good call for the Panhandle. Class 4 shingles handle hail better, and many Texas insurers offer a premium discount for them. Ask your agent.
A rough size estimate from typical home shapes, not a quote. Your real price comes from an on-roof measurement during the free inspection.
How it works
How roofers measure a roof
The estimator starts from your home's footprint, adds overhangs and the garage, then multiplies by a pitch factor and adds waste for the roof's shape.
What is a roofing square?
Roofers measure in squares. One square covers 100 square feet of roof surface. A typical Amarillo home's roof might be anywhere from about 20 to 40 squares, depending on size, pitch and shape.
Why is my roof bigger than my house's square footage?
The roof covers the whole footprint, plus overhangs and the garage, and it's sloped. A steeper pitch means more surface. A 2,000 sq ft single-story home can easily have 2,600+ square feet of roof.
Why do you add waste?
Shingles get cut at hips, valleys and edges, and those pieces can't all be reused. Simple gable roofs need less extra material; roofs with lots of angles need more.
Can you give me a price from this?
Not an exact one. Price depends on the real measurements, layers to tear off, decking condition, ventilation and the material you choose. That's what the free inspection is for.
