Welcome to the forums!!

What is the square footage of the house?
= ¿Cuál es el área en pies (cuadrados) de la casa?

Is there a fire hydrant within a 1000 feet?
= ¿Hay una boca de incendio a 1000 (mil) pies de la casa?

Welcome to the forums!

Another option for "within 1000 feet of the house" could be "dentro de mil pies de la casa".

Question Presupuesto o Cotización - Roof replaced
Wich would be better Persupuesto de las casas. Or Cotización de lasa casas?

How would I say In what year was the roof replaced? I keep confusing my self.

The word presupuesto would be more popular, I would think, for estimates of repair to a home. I would use cotización to ask about the value of a home.

¿En qué año se repuso el techo?

Ladytime, I bid you welcome, although I did't understand anything of that you said in your post.

Thanks, Pixter. I knew about hidrante, but thought it sounded too much like English and didn't find enough Internet hits to make me think it was popular.

If you don't mind saying, where have you heard this used?

I'm pretty sure I've seen hidrante in the Spanish subtitles of American movies, but that's not really an indication that a native Spanish speaker would use it.
