Steeper roofs can require different procedures
Access, staging, fall protection, material handling, and crew movement may differ as slope increases.
Material limitations
Some roofing products have slope requirements or special installation requirements at lower slopes.
Geometry matters too
Pitch is only one factor. Valleys, dormers, multiple levels, penetrations, and difficult access can also affect the project.
Ask how complexity is reflected in the bid
A written estimate should describe the roofing system and scope rather than relying on a simple price-per-square-foot comparison.
