Keeping this in view, how many squares does it take to roof a 2000 square foot home?
Each 100 square feet of roof is one roof square. So you have to divide house area by 100. If your house area is 2000 square feet, the number of roofing square for the roof will be 20.
Considering this, what is the average size of a house roof?
The average residential roof size in the US is about 1,700 square feet or 17 squares, although there are many larger homes with roofs that are twice as large. All professional roofers use “squares” to measure and estimate roofs. A square is equal to 100 square feet of the 3-dimensional roof surface.
Since there are twenty six shingles in a bundle of twenty year shingles (which is fine for starters and edges), divide the result by twenty six. For the number of ridge caps, multiply the length of the hip or ridge by twelve and divide it by five. This house is 1000 square feet. It requires 18 squares of shingles.
