A roofer specializes in residential and commercial roofing jobs. They are responsible for inspecting, maintaining, and repairing all types of roofs to protect buildings from various weather conditions. Duties include the installation of new roofing systems, shingles, vapor barriers, and insulation. They assess roof surfaces, identify and fix leakage or rough spots, and remove debris from roofs and gutters. Roofers typically work full-time, with some overtime in peak periods. This is an entry-level position for roofers that have completed an apprenticeship with an experienced roofer.
