A Roofer Apprentice is an entry-level worker who learns the trade of roofing through hands-on training under experienced roofers. Apprentices assist in installing, repairing, and maintaining roofs while gaining knowledge of safety procedures, materials, and tools. The role involves physical labor, working at heights, and exposure to various weather conditions. Over time, apprentices develop the skills needed to become journeyman roofers.

What does a roofer apprentice do?

As a Roofer Apprentice, your day usually starts early with a team safety meeting and reviewing the day’s project plans. You’ll assist experienced roofers by transporting materials, removing old roofing, installing new shingles or membranes, and ensuring work areas are clean and safe. Much of your learning happens on the job, as you gradually take on more complex tasks under supervision. You’ll work outdoors in various weather conditions and must be comfortable with physical activity, heights, and following strict safety protocols. This hands-on experience is key to building the skills needed for advancement in the roofing trade.

What skills and qualifications are needed to be a roofer apprentice?

To thrive as a Roofer Apprentice, you need good physical stamina, basic math skills, and a willingness to learn roofing techniques, usually supported by a high school diploma or equivalent. Familiarity with hand tools, power tools, personal protective equipment (PPE), and adherence to OSHA safety standards is typically required. Strong teamwork, attention to detail, and a reliable work ethic help apprentices excel in this hands-on environment. These skills and attributes are crucial for mastering roofing tasks safely, efficiently, and with high-quality results.

Is it hard to become a roofer apprentice?

Becoming a roofer apprentice typically requires basic physical fitness, a high school diploma or equivalent, and a willingness to learn on the job. The apprenticeship process involves hands-on training, often through a formal program that combines work experience with classroom instruction, and may take 1-4 years to complete. Building skills in safety, tools, and roofing techniques is essential for success in this role.

Brothers That Just Do Gutters - Fairfield-Stockton

West Sacramento, CA • On-site

$17 - $35/hr

Full-time

Re-posted 26 days ago

Job description

Apprentice Gutter Installer – Former Roofers Welcome

Pay: $17–$35/hr (Skill-Based Progression)
???? West Sacramento, CA
If you’ve worked in roofing and are tired of heavy tear-offs, extreme heat, and chaotic job sites, this may be a better long-term lane for you.
This is not a roofing job — this is a professional gutter installation role for roofers who already understand ladders, exterior work, safety, and working efficiently on homes.
Who We Are
We are The Brothers That Just Do Gutters, a nationally recognized gutter installation company known for professionalism, craftsmanship, and 5-star service.
We run clean job sites, follow strict standards, and build teams around reliability — not chaos.
This is not a short-term construction gig.
???? The Installer Track (Skill-Based Pay)
This role starts as an Apprentice and progresses based on skill + reliability, not promises.
Pay Progression (non-negotiable):

  • Apprentice (First 30 days): $17–$20/hr
  • Apprentice (30+ days, meeting standards): $20–$22/hr
  • Independent Gutter Installer (cut, print, hang gutters): $25+/hr
  • Advanced Installer (includes downspouts): $28+/hr
  • Lead Installer / Truck Lead: $30–$35/hr
Raises are earned — not negotiated.
???? What You’ll Do
  • Install seamless gutters and downspouts on residential homes
  • Use ladders, tools, and measurement skills you already have
  • Learn gutter-specific fabrication and installation techniques
  • Maintain clean, professional job sites
  • Interact respectfully with homeowners
  • Work outdoors without the physical toll of roofing tear-offs
✅ Non-Negotiable Requirements
You will not be hired unless all are true:
  • Start time is 7:00 AM sharp

  • Reliable transportation
  • Strong ladder safety awareness
  • No drugs, drinking, or smoking on job sites
  • Willingness to follow instructions without attitude
  • Willing to submit to a background check
  • Looking for stable, long-term work

???? Zero-Tolerance Probation (First 30 Days)
  • Any lateness = termination
  • No-call / no-show = termination
  • Disrespect to crew or customers = termination
  • Theft = termination and police report
???? This Role Is a Fit If You’re:
  • A roofer looking for less physical strain

  • Tired of sloppy crews and rushed work
  • Interested in a cleaner, more controlled trade
  • Reliable and professional
  • Willing to learn a new specialty
???? How to Apply
Answer all screening questions. Incomplete applications will not be reviewed.
