Your roof estimate
Confirm your building, then choose the roof details you know. Non-binding, pending on-site review.
Enter an address above, or choose Roof squares for your own measurements.
Matched address
Confidence:
The roof usually hangs past the walls by several inches to a foot or more. Building outlines trace the walls, so this adds that edge back. Most homes: +5%; deep overhangs or porches: +10%.
Roofers order extra shingles for cuts at edges, valleys and ridges, plus starter and cap pieces. Simple roofs: about +10%; roofs with many angles: about +15%.
Valleys, dormers, hips, chimneys and skylights add cuts and flashing. Choose +5% for a few, +10% for a busy roof. Not sure? Leave it at None and it is checked on site.

Measure it yourself instead
We can’t tie a building outline to this address with enough confidence, so we won’t show a square-footage number. Use the roof-squares calculator with your own measurements.
Sources, privacy & limitations
Your browser loads the single aerial image directly from CT ECO (cteco.uconn.edu), which receives the map area requested. The address itself is sent only to this site’s lookup, which forwards it to OpenStreetMap Nominatim and queries the state parcel and building services by map point.
Roof squares calculator
Use horizontal plan-view dimensions from existing plans or safe ground measurements, then choose a pitch band. Do not use already sloped roof dimensions — that counts pitch twice. Count each plan rectangle once; never climb for measurements. Results show area only — no dollar prices.

Homeowner-estimated pitch; confirmed on site. Not sure uses an assumed 4–12/12 range; flat, very steep and mixed roofs may fall outside it.

Public record estimate, not a quote. Non-binding roof-area estimate pending on-site review. Roof edges, overhangs, pitch, layers, slope, decking, condition, and access are not observed. No pricing is shown.
