Frequently Asked Questions
How is the gable roof area calculated?
The flat footprint area is multiplied by a slope factor based on the roof rise relative to half the shed width, the same pitch-multiplier geometry used elsewhere on this site for sloped roof area, since a gable roof's two sloped planes cover more actual surface area than the flat footprint below them.
What is included in each price category?
This is a simplified per-square-foot estimate meant for early budgeting. Floor price typically covers a foundation or skid base plus flooring, wall price covers framing and siding, and roof price covers roof framing and covering material, but exact scope varies by build.
Does this include doors, windows, or a foundation?
Not separately. Door and window costs, and any concrete foundation or footing work, should be added on top of this estimate, which covers the basic floor, wall, and roof shell only.
