ROOFERS

 

Scope of Work - Roofers specialize in putting roofs on buildings and other structures to make them waterproof and weatherproof.  They apply composition shingles, tile, slate and composition roofs.  They use modern equipment to handle their materials, thereby lessening the physical exertion that was formerly required.  Roofers are also called to waterproof and damp-proof walls and other building surfaces.

 

Working Conditions - With the exception of waterproofing of some walls, the roofers work outdoors in all kinds of weather and only shut down operations when the weather becomes too severe.  Most of the time they work on the top of buildings installing roofing materials.  In their work, they do a great deal of climbing, kneeling, standing and walking.
