A roofer, or roofing contractor is a tradesperson who specializes in roof construction. He works to replace, repair and install the roofs of buildings, utilizing various materials that may include shingles, bitumen, and metal. Roofing work requires a lot of physical effort as it involves heavy lifting, climbing, kneeling, bending — the roofer may even be required to work under extreme weather conditions.
Usually, roofs last from 15 to 30 years, but it solely depends on the material used. Furthermore, weather exposure and practice of installation may also contribute. Also, sometimes natural disasters and other issues may reduce the lifespan of a roof. Roofing demands skilled labor, so it is always important to hire professionals to fix any old or damaged roof.
When considering the pricing of a roof, many variables must be considered. These include the roofing material you choose, the size and complexity of the building you want roofed, whether the project is to remove it completely, replace it or set a new layer over the existing one, and so on.
There are four major types of roofers.
- Shinglers: install shingles, shakes, tiles and other nail-on products.
- Metal roofers: they focus on metal panels.
- Single ply or flat roofers: install roofs such as single-ply, or foam roofs.
- Hot roofers: work using tar-based products
