Understanding Roof Pitch
Roof pitch is the slope of your roof, expressed as a ratio of rise to run.
What is Roof Pitch?
Pitch is expressed as "X:12" where X is how many inches the roof rises for every 12 inches of horizontal run. A 6:12 pitch rises 6 inches per foot.
Why Pitch Matters
- • Determines material requirements
- • Affects labor costs (steeper = harder)
- • Impacts drainage and durability
- • Required for accurate estimates
