Hi carl i understand that ranch style homes cost more per square foot than two story homes because they contain larger foundation and roof areas and because plumbing lines are longer but what is the magnitude of the difference.
Square foot roof two story house.
Convert the area to roofing squares.
A new asphalt shingles roof for a typical 2 000 sq.
If you have a 2 story house you divide total square footage by 2 before multiplying by 125.
The slope of your roof will factor into how many additional square feet are on your roof.
All costs are approximate.
Most roofing is sold by the square enough to cover 100 square feet of roof area.
For a two story 2 776 square foot home the construction materials would account for around 140 000 and would cover framing foundation roofing siding interior and exterior doors windows insulation drywall siding paint flooring electrical.
To install depending on the type of shingle and project specifics variables.
Assuming a two story house with two layers of old shingles we can estimate the cost of removing and disposing of the old roof at about 2 000 give or take.
A traditional 2 story house plan presents the main living spaces living room kitchen etc on the main level while all bedrooms reside upstairs.
Are ranch style homes 20 to 40 more expensive.
Take your ground floor square footage and multiply by 125.
Because each 100 square feet of roof is one roofing square divide the total area from step 1 by 100.
Material cost to build a house.
Across the us a typical architectural asphalt shingle roof will cost between 4 00 and 7 00 per sq.
For example if a two story home costs 100 per square foot.
For instance a 20x100 house with 3 foot overhangs would have 26x106 foot plan on the roof or 2756 sf for a flat roof.
Will a comparable ranch cost 120 to 140 per square foot.
Change the 2000sf dimensions to 45x44 4 feet with ridge along the 45 dimension you get 51x50 4.
2 story house plans floor plans designs 2 story house plans sometimes written two story house plans are probably the most popular story configuration for a primary residence.
Most homeowners spend between 1 500 and 3 000 total when hiring a professional and the cost goes up from there for high end materials like slate or other stone tiles which are heavier.
The typical factor is 25 more roof than house square footage.
Take that to a 12 12 pitch and the actual roof square footage goes up to assuming peaked along the 100 dimension 3896 sf.
The answer is the number of roofing squares for the roof.
Roof removal costs 1 63 per square foot for a single story home and as much as 1 96 per square foot for a 3 story townhome.
Single story ranch house can range in price from 8 500 to 16 500 fully installed.
The material cost to build a house is about 50 per square foot or between 41 5 and 51 of the build cost.
Roof size calculations the hard way.
This leaves us with 8 250 to install 15 squares of gaf timberline shingles vs.
