Roofing Math Workbook

About this book

This workbook is for roofing apprentices, roofers, crew leads, estimators and anyone who wants to get faster and more confident with the math of the trade: reading pitch, turning a plan into squares, figuring hips, valleys and edge metal, ordering underlayment, ice barrier, shingles, nails and vents, laying out low-slope membrane and gutters, and pricing the job. Material yields and code limits vary: always check the manufacturer's instructions and your local code.

• A short lesson and worked examples at the start of every unit
• Practice problems drawn from real jobsite situations
• A full answer key, with every answer calculated and checked by computer

For practice and study. Always follow your plans, manufacturer instructions, local codes and your instructor or supervisor.
