Roofers solve many problems including leaks, rot, improper ventilation, incorrect flashing, shingle buckling, solar panel installation, and replacement of damaged roofs. Before fixing these problems, roofers must evaluate the damage's extent and give direction on the right solution. Roofers also provide cost estimates about the labor and material required to fix a roofing problem. The academic qualifications required to become a roofer are pretty low. A large percentage of roofers did not complete high school. Most of the ones who completed high school do not have a college degree. Compatibility in skill and passion is also crucial in becoming a successful roofer. You can determine your compatibility by taking a RIASEC assessment. Success as a roofer is also determined by geography and experience.
