Roof Joist Calculator
Pick the wrong joist size and the roof either sags or costs far more than it should.
Roofing work is priced by area and slope, and both are easy to get wrong from the ground. These calculators work out gable area, joist needs, and the slopes that carry water off the roof.
Area and structure come first, with gable roof area and roof joist tools covering the size and support of the roof itself. Lean-to roof slope and gutter slope handle the angles that decide whether water drains or pools, and roof painting cost covers the finishing job that protects the surface afterward. Average daily demand is filed here too, though it reads more like a general demand tool than a roofing one.

Painting a roof is not a wall-painting job with a bigger brush: pitch multiplies the surface area, elastomeric coatings cover far less per gallon than house paint, and the DIY-versus-pro decision swings the total by thousands.
Order shingles for the footprint of your house and you will come up short.
