There are many decisions required when choosing which roof or repair will best suit your home. It is essential to be well educated on the key elements of roofing, ensuring that the right work is done safely and without over when obtaining a roofing quotation, the supervisor or salesman will need to determine the incline of the roof, also know as pitch. The steeper the pitch, the more difficult it is to work on the roof; inherently increasing the cost of labour.
The angle, or pitch of a roof is calculated by the number of inches it rises vertically for every 12 inches it extends horizontally. For example, a roof that rises 6 inches for every 12 inches of horizontal run has a 6-in-12 pitch.
Most roofinGpanies are equipped with tools to accurately and quickly measure your roof's angle.
