What this means for your project
A two-story house can have a different footprint from a one-story house with the same total floor area. Roof slopes add surface area, and attached porches or garages may add roof without adding the same kind of living area. Valleys, dormers, and changes in direction can affect detailing and material planning. Supply the floor area if you know it, but label it as house information. Ask how the contractor will establish actual roof dimensions and complexity before pricing the work.
