Removal of shingles - ANSWER-estimate for the actual number of squares (not square
feet). No estimating or rounding
Replacement of shingles - ANSWER-a) Include waste in the calculation
-10% - Composite
-15% - wood
b) Round up to the nearest bundle
-Assume 3 bundles per SQ for composite shingles
-Assume 4 bundles per SQ for wood
What do wood shingle estimates always end with? - ANSWER-fourths. .25, .5, .75, .00
What do composite shingle estimates always end with? - ANSWER-thirds. .33, .66, .00
Calculating Hip Roofs - ANSWER-get main body first. extensions second.
Hip roof triangular ends - ANSWER-are calculated when the main roof is calculated b/c
a triangle is accounted for that didn't actually exist
When calculating extensions on a hip roof - ANSWER-don't count for the triangle, but
don't forget the two parrallelograms remaining (there is a good chance they are
identical)
When calculating the main body - ANSWER-Don't assume that you can just find one
side of a roof and double it. Why? the rafters might be different lengths
How do you find the height of a hip roof? - ANSWER-the height of the triangle is equal
to the length of the rafter that is forming the parallelogram
(only true if the pitch of the roof is identical and the angles on the hip roof are 90
degrees)
Do you round when removing a roof? - ANSWER-No, removal is always the exact
number
What calculations can you use to replace? - ANSWER-x1.10 for composite
