At Scope Technologies, we’re committed to providing roofing professionals with the most accurate tools and resources to succeed. With our flagship product, RoofScope, we proudly deliver the only aerial roof measurement report in the roofing industry guaranteed to 99% accuracy.
However, we know that even the most advanced tools can encounter challenges. Whether due to compromised imagery or pitch variations, occasional discrepancies are inevitable. That’s why we’re transparent, including disclaimers on reports when necessary. Most contractors appreciate this honesty, as it allows them to factor in fair waste adjustments and remain competitive while still closing deals.
To address one of the most critical factors in roofing—accurate pitch measurements—we’ve developed a game-changing solution: the Pitch Gauge tool, now available in the “Tools” section of our Scope App.
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!
Unmatched Customer Support
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.
