To order your
Roofing Analysis, you’ll need to
provide us with the following:
1. The exterior dimensions
of the building. This would be the length of each of the
walls which includes the length that the roof extends past
the exterior
walls of the building IE the overhangs.
2. The Pitch or Slope of your roof.
Already have these? Then you can go
ahead and order now! If you don't have this information,
or you are not sure then proceed with the information below.
And where do I get this, you ask? It’s
easy. There are several sources of this information:
1. House Plans:
Your original
house plans most likely have all the data we need. (Correct
length of exterior
walls, amount of overhang and the roof pitch) Most
all Kinko’s have a copy machine that will copy
in 24 x 36 format and a copy of just the roof plan
is all we need. Please do not send original plans. Or...
Have your architect or engineer e-mail
us a copy of the roof plan in CAD to:
CADPlans@MetalRoofingSource.com. Remember,
just the roof plan is all we need.
Note: Sometimes contractors make “field
adjustments” to an architect’s
plans so it’s possible that the actual building might be a little off
from what the plans show. Therefore, to make sure all measurements are correct
it’s a good idea to double check the plans with the Do-It-Yourself Method.
2. Do It Yourself:
A hand drawn sketch of your roof is just fine and it’s
darn simple. Just make sure the lengths of the perimeter walls are accurate
and that you’ve noted the amount of overhang and the pitch of your roof.
Don’t worry about your drawing being to scale; just make sure your measurements
are accurate.
Hand Drawn Roof Plan:
A. Perimeter Walls.
Measure the individual lengths of the exterior walls.
B. Overhangs: Measure the distance of the overhang(s)
and note that somewhere on your sketch.
Pitch:
The pitch or slope of your roof
is easy to figure. See the section, Determining the
Roof Pitch. Remember: if your roof has different
pitches, you’ll
need to note that on your sketch.
