House Dimensions:

Take the ground measurements of your house, from corner to corner. Our calculator assumes that your house has rectangular shape. It cannot operate with odd shaped objects, so when you are plugging in the ground dimensions of your home, that is not rectangular, calculate the outer perimeter of your house and plug it in, multiplied by one.

For example, you have an L shaped house that measures 50 x 25 feet for the main section of the house and 20 x 15 feet for the bump-out section. Calculate your outside wall dimensions in our case it will be: 50 (back side), 25 + 25 (sides of the main section), 30 (front of the main section), and 15 + 15 + 20 (sides and front of the bump-out section). Your total outside perimeter (length of the outside walls) is 180 linear feet. Plug in 180 x 1 into the calculator.

PS. You can use the length of the outside walls to also get the pricing on soffit and fascia installation.
