Well, that would be a 45 degree angle. It could well be true. I don't know why they would charge extra except that it might be harder to work on at that angle, a few more shingles but not many.
It might be that getting shingles delivered to the roof is not practical at that pitch, I mean keeping them there. I suppose you could build a saddle platform to sit on the peak then have the shingles delivered to that. By the time you get there most would have been used up and with care it could be moved to a part of the ridge already covered at the very last. I would also guess that a look at the gaggle end would give you a pretty good eye-ball estimation of a 45 degree angle without having to measure it, wouldn't be out by much.

I asked how he could tell that I had a 12-12 pitch and he said all these Levitown Cape Cod homes were built the same way in the early 50's.Lee -- File cabinet: A four drawer, manually activated trash compactor.
