This YouTube video displays how roofing contractors can get started. The narrator discusses how he got into the profession and the ways others can do the same.
Roofers are a specialty subset of the construction industry.
Not all contractors can put together this coverage for a home or business. Conversely, roofing contractors might not have the skills to frame a wall.
As viewers will see in this video, it takes several years of study and on-hands learning to become a roofer. First, they must study the basics of home and business construction. Additionally, roofing candidates should have the mathematical skills to calculate square footage to order the proper material amounts.
From there, new roofers become apprentices to subject matter experts in the field. Here is where they gain the physical experience of laying down roofing tiles & flashing, inspecting roofs, and determining the costs for repairs and new installations. Depending on their determination, it may take months or years to achieve a master's status.
