1. Removal of shin- estimate for the actual number of squares (not square feet). No estimating or
gles rounding
2. Replacement of a) Include waste in the calculation
shingles -10% - Composite
-15% - wood
b) Round up to the nearest bundle
-Assume 3 bundles per SQ for composite shingles
-Assume 4 bundles per SQ for wood
3. What do wood fourths. .25, .5, .75, .00
shingle esti-
mates always
end with?
4. What do com- thirds. .33, .66, .00
posite shingle es-
timates always
end with?
5. Calculating Hip get main body first. extensions second.
Roofs
6. Hip roof triangu- are calculated when the main roof is calculated b/c a triangle is accounted for that
lar ends didn't actually exist
7. When calculating don't count for the triangle, but don't forget the two parrallelograms remaining
extensions on a (there is a good chance they are identical)
hip roof
8. When calculating Don't assume that you can just find one side of a roof and double it. Why? the
the main body rafters might be different lengths

9. How do you find the height of the triangle is equal to the length of the rafter that is forming the
the height of a parallelogram
hip roof?
(only true if the pitch of the roof is identical and the angles on the hip roof are 90
degrees)
10. Do you round No, removal is always the exact number
when removing a
roof?
11. What calcula- x1.10 for composite
tions can you use x1.15 for wood
to replace? .33 for composite
.25 for wood
12. "drop and roll" the method for estimating carpet
13. How wide are 12 feet
carpet rolls?
14. What carpet al- You must add an additional 3" for length. If you forget this, then you get the
lowance must question wrong!
you make in esti-
mates?
15. It is ok to change False
the way carpet
seams are run in
a house
16. How do you cal- It is the actual square footage
culate the re-
moval of carpet

of carpet & Re-
placement of car-
pet pad have in
common?
18. Xactimate Carpet (Not carpet pad), need to add waste
doesn't calculate Shingles
waste on what Vinyl sheath flooring
three things?
19. How much The answer: square footage
square footage is
it to move and re-
place the carpet
pad?
20. To calculate floor divide up into squares/rectangles and determine specific amount to be removed
removal:
21. To calculate re- 1) notice seams in flooring
placement of 2) drop and roll a 12' roll of carpet
floor: 3) add 3" to length (.25)
22. To calculate lin- 1) are they installed 24" of center?
ear feet of truss- 2) convert 24" to feet
es 3) length of roof (30ft) / 2ft = 15 (the number of trusses)
4) Add 1 for the truss not yet accounted for: 30/2 = 15. Then 15 +1 = 16. 16 trusses
23. How much would (total number of trusses) X (width of roof w/out overhangs) = linear feet of roof
it cost to replace trusses
the linear feet
