The local numbers behind a shingle roofing bid.
What south King County builds to, and what it means for the takeoff.
| Where | Snow load | Design wind speed | Ice barrier required |
|---|---|---|---|
| Auburn | 25 psf (ground) | 110 mph | No |
| Federal Way | 25 psf (ground) | 95 mph | No |
- Snow load: 25 psf (ground) (Auburn). The trusses, rafters and roof sheathing on your plans are designed for the snow load; if the truss notes show a different number, ask before you bid.
- Design wind speed: 110 mph (Auburn). Shingles go on with the maker's nailing for the wind speed, and high-wind nailing changes the nail count.
- No ice barrier required by the local table (Auburn). Many roofers still run it at eaves and valleys; the roof notes on your plans decide.
Sources: Auburn: City of Auburn · Federal Way: City of Federal Way Community Development, Building Division. Read 2026-09-28. Every number is as the jurisdiction publishes it (its design criteria for houses, IRC Table R301.2(1)); a dash means it isn't published. Your lot can differ with elevation and exposure, so confirm it with the building department before you order.
Squares, edges and flashing, counted.
Your takeoff is built from the model, not a scale ruler. Here's what it covers, with the numbers from our example house.
- Squares by plane and pitch, with waste figured from the cuts
- Starter along every eave, hip and ridge cap
- Valleys, step flashing and headwall flashing
- Underlayment, with ice and water shield on low slopes
- A supplier order sheet to save as a PDF and email to your supplier. See a sample

Shingle roofing takeoffs in South King County
Do you do shingle roofing takeoffs for houses in Renton?
Yes. Upload the plan set for a house anywhere in south King County (Renton, Kent, Auburn, Federal Way, Burien and Tukwila), or anywhere else. Nothing has to be built yet: we measure the house on the plans.
What design numbers apply in Auburn?
Auburn publishes snow load: 25 psf (ground); design wind speed: 110 mph; ice barrier required: no. The design on your plans should match them, and the takeoff follows your plans. Elevation and exposure can change them for your lot, so confirm with the building department.
Does a takeoff cost more in South King County?
No. The price is the same everywhere, and you see it before you pay. The 3D model is included, and each trade after the first in the same order is half price.
Is this an exact price?
No. It's an estimate built from your plans. Plans don't show the roof as it really is: rotten decking or old layers under a re-roof, or crickets and saddles that aren't drawn. Anything built differently from the drawings won't be in the bid. We recommend a site visit to confirm measurements and conditions before you sign a contract or order materials.
Have a plan set?

Any house in south King County. The 3D model and the takeoff come off your own plans.
