When it comes to roofing, precision is everything. From nailing competitive bids to coordinating with suppliers and ensuring crew safety, the accuracy of a roof's pitch can make or break a project. That’s why RoofScope by Scope Technologies is shaking up the industry once again with its latest innovation — the Pitch Gauge, now seamlessly integrated into the Scope App. Designed to be as intuitive as it is powerful, this tool isn’t just a nice-to-have; it’s a must-have for any contractor looking to stay ahead in a competitive market.
Pitch plays a significant role in the roofing process:
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.
Suppliers may be unable to load materials onto roofs with pitches greater than 8/12. Knowing the pitch ensures smooth coordination with suppliers.
Steeper roofs require additional safety measures and equipment. Having the correct pitch helps crews prepare for the specific challenges of the project.
Using the Pitch Gauge in the Scope App is simple:
Navigate to the “Tools” section and select Pitch Gauge.
Position the tool, align it properly and take a picture to verify the pitch.
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!
At Scope Technologies, we consider ourselves an extension of your team. If you discover a pitch variation after visiting a property, simply use the Pitch Gauge to take a photo of the verified pitch. Share it with our Customer Experience Team and we’ll have our CAD team recalibrate your drawings and send updated plans within three hours — at no extra cost.
