Shingling a steep roof isn’t just about skill; it’s about control, planning, and the right tools. Whether you’re tackling a 10/12 pitch or something even steeper, gravity is working against you every second. That’s why the best roofers balance safety with workflow efficiency.

At BMF Roofing Solutions, we’ve spent years building gear that helps roofers move faster and stay secure where it matters most.

Before any shingles go down, stability comes first. Always inspect ladder footing, anchor points, and harness tension. On steep pitches, a solid anchor system is your lifeline.

The BMF Shingle Anchor was designed exactly for this. It’s a quick-set, heavy-duty anchor that keeps you tied in without slowing down your movement across the roof.

Pro tip: Set your anchors higher than your work area to reduce slack and improve balance while reaching or kneeling.

Time gets wasted when roofers fight gravity. Set up your shingle stacks, nail pouches, and waste chute in a pattern that minimizes steps and bends.
A good layout means your team moves in rhythm instead of fighting the slope.

Keep your fasteners close with the BMF Nail Caddy, built to hold nails and small tools right where you need them, even on a steep incline. Its non-slip base and secure strap system help keep it steady when traditional pouches slide out of reach.

Steep roofs punish poor organization. Avoid chasing tools by using designated zones for nail guns, compressors, and materials.

If you’re working solo, the BMF Pail Anchor is a game-changer. It locks your bucket or tool pail in place, preventing it from tipping or sliding off the roof, which saves both time and expensive equipment.

On steep slopes, control beats speed every time. Work in smaller, consistent sections so your body position stays predictable. Fastening shingles in short, efficient runs keeps fatigue low and accuracy high.

Lay starter rows horizontally and check alignment frequently. A laser or chalk guide line can keep courses straight even when the pitch throws off your perspective.

Every seasoned roofer knows the steeper the roof, the less room for mistakes. Keep debris clear, rotate tasks between crew members, and double-check harness attachment points after every break.
A smart workflow backed by reliable anchors, nail storage, and staging systems keeps your crew safe and productive.

BMF Roofing Solutions products are built to make that balance easier. From secure anchors to organized caddies, each piece of gear helps pros take on the toughest slopes without losing time or footing.

Steep roof work separates the rookies from the pros. It demands patience, preparation, and precision. When you invest in solid techniques and dependable tools, you spend less time adjusting and more time installing.

If your next project involves a challenging pitch, set yourself up with gear that’s built for the climb.
