Roofer

A roofer installs and repairs roofs, applying shingles, tiles, metal, or membrane systems to protect buildings from the weather. They tear off old roofing, prepare and waterproof the surface, lay new materials, and seal and flash around edges and penetrations, working to keep structures dry and sound.

The work is physically demanding and often dangerous, done at height and exposed to heat, cold, and the elements. Roofers work for roofing contractors on homes and commercial buildings.

The job suits tough, surefooted, hardworking people who don't mind heights or weather and want skilled outdoor work with a clear, finished result at the end of the day.
