Roofers

Roofers are craftsmen who specialize in putting roofs on buildings and other structures to make them waterproof and weatherproof.

They apply composition shingles, wood shingles, tile slate, and composition roofs, which consist of numerous layers of saturated felt cemented together with asphalt or pitch, and sometimes surfaced with chips of marble, plus many types of EPDM & single ply roofs.

They now use modern equipment to handle their materials, which has lessened the physical exertion that was formerly required. Roofers are also called upon to waterproof and damp-proof walls and other building surfaces.

You must:

	Be at least 18 years of age
