An essential tool for roofing professionals to estimate material needs. Use calculate_sloped_area to convert flat footprint area into sloped surface area using the roof pitch. Then, apply calculate_total_order_quantity with your specific complexity level (simple, moderate, or complex) to account for waste. Finally, use summarize_material_order to generate a clean summary of squares and linear feet for ridge caps and starter courses.

I have a roof with a 1,500 sq ft footprint and a 6:12 pitch. How many squares of roofing do I need for a moderate complexity roof?

For a 1,500 sq ft footprint with a 6:12 pitch and moderate complexity, you will need approximately 18.34 squares of roofing material.

Calculate the total order for a roof with 20 squares of sloped area and a complex difficulty level.

The total order quantity is 26.0 squares, which includes a 30% waste margin for the complex complexity level.

Generate a summary for 25 squares, with 100 feet of ridge cap and 80 feet of starter course.

Total roofing material required: 25 squares. Ridge cap needed: 100 linear feet. Starter course needed: 80 linear feet.

Use the `calculate_sloped_area` tool. Provide the base footprint area in square feet and the pitch rise (e.g., 4 for a 4:12 pitch). Tools available: `your_tool_name`.
