What is roofing and what do roofers do?
Roofers are laborers who work on roofs that need to be built, maintained, or replaced. Roofing is an important component of structuring a building or home. If the job is done correctly, the roof will protect the rest of the structure from unfortunate encounters and weather extremes such as leaks, moss, bugs, birds, and insects, and poor installation. For these reasons, it is important to find the correct materials, and take your time while installing roofs.
There are many steps in a roofing job to ensure the job is done correctly. The job is started once you or your company has been contacted. Typically roofers will inspect the roof entirely and decide what would be best for the roof that needs to be built, repaired, or maintained. They will also need to consider the location of the building and yearly weather expectations. From there, roofers will measure and calculate the roof and what is needed. Replacements, installations, and alignments are performed until the roof has been fixed and finished.
Though roofing sounds like an easy process, roofers work tirelessly by lifting and climbing in both cold and hot weather. The time, effort, and expenses put forth in a roofing job shouldn’t be overlooked. This invoice template ensures every part of the job is counted for and makes it easy to track the time and materials used for the job.
Becoming a roofer
Roofing is a job that does not require schooling or licensing, however, it can be helpful when trying to land a roofing job. There are many companies that hire roofing employees, train them, and assign them jobs when necessary. The alternative option is to become a self-employed roofer. Here are some tips and tricks to expedite the process of becoming a roofer.
Invest in a trade school
After obtaining a high school diploma, consider investing in a trade school to learn more about roofing and receive additional education in the construction field. This will catch the eye of companies and customers who are looking at experienced versus inexperienced roofers. Additionally, construction schooling will provide you with more roofing knowledge.
Find an apprenticeship program
Apprenticeship programs are a great way to learn the basics of a job. Finding a roofing apprenticeship program will allow you to receive hands-on training from a professional, and provide you with the full experience of what a roofer’s job entitles. An apprenticeship program will pay you while learning, and may also offer you a job once the program has been completed.
Obtaining a license
Obtaining a roofing license is not required, and in some states may not be an option. Research the state you reside in to see if a roofing license may be an option for you. This will help you learn about roofing as a profession and help you land a job, or attract clientele.
