Pitch and squares

Slope and total squares,
read from one report.

Get the pitch of every roof plane and the total roofing squares for the property in a single report. One square equals 100 square feet, so your slope and your square count always match.

Facet by facet

Pitch and area for every plane.

Beyond total squares and the dominant pitch, the report breaks out the area and pitch of each facet plus ridge, hip, valley, eave and rake lengths. Order by address, delivered the same day, with an ESX for Xactimate®, or an XML for Symbility® users.

Get Roof Pitch and Squares in One Report by Address

A roof pitch and squares report gives you the slope of every roof plane and the total roofing squares for a property, ordered by address. Pitch is the rise of the roof over a 12 inch run, and one square equals 100 square feet of roof surface, so together they tell you how steep the roof is and how much of it there is. Standard orders are delivered the same day, with no site visit and no ladder.

Pitch and squares, defined

Pitch describes how steep a roof plane is, written as the rise in inches over a 12 inch horizontal run, so a 6 pitch rises 6 inches for every 12. A roofing square is 100 square feet of roof surface, which is the unit material and labor are priced in. The report gives you both numbers for the property so you know the slope of the roof and exactly how many squares it covers.

Why pitch and squares belong together

Pitch changes the true square count, because a steeper roof has more surface than its footprint suggests. The pitch also feeds the waste and access factors that affect how a steep roof is priced.

The full picture per facet

Beyond total squares and the dominant pitch, the report lists the area and pitch of each roof facet along with ridge, hip, valley, eave and rake lengths. That detail lets you account for a roof that has more than one slope instead of treating it as a single plane. Every measurement ties back to the address you searched.

One report for the whole job

Adjusters, estimators and roofing contractors order the same pitch and squares report and read the same numbers. Each order is delivered as an ESX for Xactimate®, or as an XML for Symbility® users, with a PDF available as an add-on. Integrated orders come with an ESX and a PDF and import directly into Xactimate® for estimating.

Frequently asked questions

What does roof pitch mean on the report?

Roof pitch is the slope of a roof plane, written as the rise in inches over a 12 inch run. A 4 pitch rises 4 inches per 12, while a 9 pitch is much steeper. The report lists the pitch for the roof and for individual facets where they differ.

Why do I need pitch and squares together?

Pitch and squares work as a pair because the steepness of a roof affects its true surface area and how it is priced.

Does the report give pitch for each section of the roof?

Yes. The report breaks out the pitch and area of each roof facet, not just one figure for the whole roof. That matters on roofs that combine more than one slope, so you can price each section correctly.

Can I get pitch and squares without measuring the roof myself?

Yes. You order the report by property address, with no site visit and no ladder. Standard orders are delivered the same day with pitch, total squares and facet areas included.

What file formats include the pitch and squares?

Each order is delivered as an ESX for Xactimate®, or as an XML for Symbility® users, with a PDF available as an optional add-on. Integrated orders come with an ESX and a PDF that import into Xactimate®, carrying the pitch and squares into your estimate.
