luxury roof that turns your neighbors heads, cuts your insurance premiums and never needs replacing.
At Luxe Roofing, we believe knowledge is empowerment—especially when it comes to protecting your most valuable investment: your home. One of the most overlooked yet essential aspects of your roof is its pitch. Not only does pitch define your roof’s architectural character, but it also plays a pivotal role in water drainage, material selection, safety planning, and—yes—cost.
Whether you’re replacing your roof, navigating an insurance claim, or simply learning more about your home, understanding roof pitch gives you an advantage.
Let’s break it down with elegance and clarity.
Roof pitch is the steepness or slope of your roof—essentially, how high it rises for every 12 inches it runs horizontally. For example, a “6/12 pitch” means the roof rises 6 inches for every 12 inches of horizontal span.
Pitches range widely, from nearly flat to dramatically steep. Many homes even feature multiple pitches across different sections of the roofline, creating visual complexity and drainage challenges.
