Roof outline & dimensions

Plan-view length of each outer roof edge. Measured outer edge: 268 ft · estimated eaves + rakes: ≈289 ft.

Roof outline sketch with the length of each edge
Lengths are measured in plan view from the roof outline in aerial imagery. The eaves + rakes estimate adds sloped rake length and edges of lower roofs hidden inside the outline (common on two-story homes); expect ±15%.

Waste factor table

Calculated on the shingle area (3,476 sq ft). Suggested waste for this roof: 11%, based on its 8 planes.

Approximate quantities for planning. Confirm coverage with your products’ specifications and local code. Starter strip, ridge cap, leak barrier and ventilation depend on edge types (eaves, ridges, hips, valleys), which instant reports do not include.

How this was measured. Horus measures each roof plane from high-resolution aerial imagery and a 3D surface model of the building. Areas are true sloped surface, overhangs included, plus a 1% allowance for small facets and edges that aerial models under-detect (calibrated against professional measurement reports). Imagery: High resolution (≈10 cm/pixel), captured November 5, 2023. Results are estimates for quoting and material planning; trees over the roof, changes after the imagery date and very complex roofs can affect accuracy. Verify critical dimensions on site before ordering materials. Not intended for insurance claims or legal surveys.
