Calculating Hip Roofs
- ✔ANSWER get main body first. extensions second.
Hip roof triangular ends
- ✔ANSWER are calculated when the main roof is calculated b/c a triangle is accounted for
that didn't actually exist
When calculating extensions on a hip roof
- ✔ANSWER don't count for the triangle, but don't forget the two parrallelograms remaining
(there is a good chance they are identical)
When calculating the main body
- ✔ANSWER Don't assume that you can just find one side of a roof and double it. Why? the
rafters might be different lengths
How do you find the height of a hip roof? - ✔ANSWER
the height of the triangle is equal to the length of the rafter that is forming the parallelogram
(only true if the pitch of the roof is identical and the angles on the hip roof are 90 degrees)
Do you round when removing a roof?
- ✔ANSWER No, removal is always the exact number
What calculations can you use to replace? - ✔ANSWER
x1.10 for composite
x1.15 for wood
.33 for composite
.25 for wood
"drop and roll"
- ✔ANSWER the method for estimating carpet
How wide are carpet rolls?
- ✔ANSWER 12 feet
,What carpet allowance must you make in estimates?
- ✔ANSWER You must add an additional 3" for length. If you forget this, then you get the
question wrong!
It is ok to change the way carpet seams are run in a house
- ✔ANSWER False
How do you calculate the removal of carpet
- ✔ANSWER It is the actual square footage
What do Removal of carpet & Replacement of carpet pad have in common?
- ✔ANSWER they both are the actual square footage
Xactimate doesn't calculate waste on what three things? - ✔ANSWER
Carpet (Not carpet pad), need to add waste
Shingles
Vinyl sheath flooring
How much square footage is it to move and replace the carpet pad?
- ✔ANSWER The answer: square footage
To calculate floor removal:
- ✔ANSWER divide up into squares/rectangles and determine specific amount to be
removed
To calculate replacement of floor: - ✔ANSWER
1) notice seams in flooring
2) drop and roll a 12' roll of carpet
3) add 3" to length (.25)

D. Base x Height - ✔ANSWER B. 𝜋𝜋𝑟𝑟 (pi r squared)
"On-center" is a term to describe the distance from the center of one framing member to the center of
the next framing member, i.e., studs, joist, rafters.
TrueFalse - ✔ANSWER True

A. Plywood, oriented strand board (OSB), fiberboard, and rigid insulating panels are widely used for
sheathing.
B. Wall sheathing reinforces the wall framing.
