Master roof pitch measurements like a pro

By RoofScope.

A new must-have tool for roofing pros — right in the Scope app.

Every roofer knows that pitch matters. It’s the difference between an easy install and a logistical headache, between a smooth supplier delivery and an unexpected roadblock. But getting an accurate pitch measurement hasn’t always been easy — until now. Scope Technologies is taking guesswork out of the equation with its newest game-changing feature in the Scope app: the Pitch Gauge tool. Designed for accuracy, speed and convenience, this tool is set to become a staple in every contractor’s toolkit. Here’s why you won’t want to tackle another job without it.

Why pitch accuracy matters

Pitch plays a significant role in the roofing process:

Accurate bids

When calculating bids, knowing whether a pitch exceeds 7/12 can make a significant difference in pricing. For steeper roofs, contractors typically include a “steep” charge to account for the added time and effort required during installation.

Supplier readiness

Suppliers may be unable to load materials onto roofs with pitches greater than 8/12. Knowing the pitch ensures smooth coordination with suppliers.

Crew preparation

Steeper roofs require additional safety measures and equipment. Having the correct pitch helps crews prepare for the specific challenges of the project.

How to use the new pitch gauge

Using the Pitch Gauge in the Scope app is simple:

1 – Open the Scope App

Navigate to the “Tools” section and select Pitch Gauge.

2 – Capture the pitch

Position the tool, align it properly and take a picture to verify the pitch.

3 – Save and share

Use the verified pitch data to inform your bids, orders and crew preparations.

The tool works whether you’re on the roof or on the ground. From the ground, simply stand in the driveway, line up the Pitch Gauge with the drip edge and snap a picture. It’s that easy!
