Pitch: moderate slope (6-in-12) — the most common residential range.
Roof size: typical for a small-to-medium single-story home.
Recommendations
Steeper roofs (above about 6-in-12) are meaningfully more dangerous to work on — factor that into a DIY-vs-contractor decision, not just the material cost.
Always check local building codes for underlayment and ventilation requirements.
A roof this size also affects gutter length and downspout placement — plan those together.
