What does a roofer do?

Career: Roofing

As a roofer, you do more than simply put the shingles on a house. While that is an important aspect of the work, your job is more varied. A roofer is also in charge of inspecting damage and may provide an estimate for the cost of repairs. You do extensive repairs to damaged roofs, whether it is replacing rotted supports or replacing lost shingles. You also provide advice on types of roofs that may best serve a building, taking into account local weather and cost. In very sunny locales, you may provide advice and cost estimates for solar panel assemblies.
