What is my Linear Footage?

Example: For a house that’s 2,000 square feet, dividing by 10 gives you a rough estimate of 200 linear feet. Remember, this is very approximate because the actual length of gutters can vary with the house’s shape and design. A more accurate measure would involve physically measuring the gutters.

Mark as “0” if it is not applicable for your needs. Flat square footage is a unit of measurement for an area. This represents the amount of space within a flat surface, and can be calculated by multiplying the length of a space by its width.

What is Vertical Square Feet?

Mark as “0” if it is not applicable for your needs. Vertical square footage refers to the area of surfaces that are not horizontal, such as walls or the sides of buildings. Like flat square footage, it’s calculated by multiplying the height by the width of the vertical surface. Example: For a simple one-story house with walls that are 8 feet high and 30 feet long on each of the four sides, you calculate vertical square footage like this: 8 (height) * 30 (length) * 4 (sides) = 960 vertical square feet. However, this doesn’t account for doors, windows, etc., so you might need to adjust for those.
