Does anyone out there know approximately how many roofing squares are needed for a Galveston model? Please note I am not looking to start a roofing conversation or asking for advice. Please do not respond unless you actually do know the number. Thanks.

As I recall, a "square" is 100 square feet, you should be able to contact home warranty and ask what the square feet is of the model home you have. If they only have the square feet of the house, I would ESTIMATE the roofing as 30 percent more to account for the slope. This should get you close.

that should work with the 30%, maybe a tad higher depending on your roof shape/slope. the tax assessor website also has square footage, don't forget the garage, lanai, etc. there's also a waste factor in roofing

Thanks. I appreciate your response.

I was able to get a copy of all the construction documents for my house (not original owner). From the county.

One of the docs tells me my roof sq footage.

This is very helpful. I will attempt to do the same. Is it the building permit department you contacted? I'm not too familiar with the different county departments so I'm not too sure who to contact. Thanks.

Thanks again. Unfortunately my house was built prior to 2011 but I will fill in a form and see what might be available. Fingers crossed.
