How to calculate roof coating

Roof coating at about 100 square feet per gallon. Enter roof area to get gallons.

Formula: quantity = area ÷ 100 sq ft per gallons × (1 + waste %) = 2 gallons.

Worked example

Example: 10 ft × 10 ft = 100 sq ft. Quantity: 2 gallons, about $80 at $40 per gallons.

Tips

Measure the full area, then subtract large openings if you want an exact count. Order a little extra for cuts and breakage, and confirm quantities with your supplier before you buy.
