Tested before release
Both files were tested with the sample data in Excel (Excel for the web) and Google Sheets: all 15 expected results matched (totals, single rows, blank rows, cross-sheet values and percentages, each worked out separately), with no formula errors across 216 formulas.
No macros, no add-ins, no external links. Input cells are blue text on light amber. In the Excel file, formula cells are locked with no password so they don't get typed over by accident.

Who it's for
Residential roofing contractors pricing shingle roofs, reroofs and tear-offs.

Not the right fit if
You want roof measurements pulled from satellite images. You enter your own measurements or a measured area. The material list is built around shingles, bundles and squares.
