How we source numbers

  1. 01

    From the label, not a forum

    Bag yields, paint coverage and shingle bundles come from the manufacturer's own data sheet or product page.

  2. 02

    Codes from the code

    Stair limits come from IRC R311.7 and shingle slope limits from IRC R905.2, as reprinted by building departments.

  3. 03

    Math you can check

    Each page shows its formula and the arithmetic, so you can redo it with a tape measure and a pencil.

Estimates only. Check local codes and your product's label. More on how we check.
