| What He
Does
Roofers use a wide range
of products and application techniques for applying hot asphalt,
hot coal tar pitch, rubber (EPDM and Hypalon), thermo plastics
systems, torch applied modified bitumen, and cold applied
systems. In addition, they install insulation and gravel and
work with slate, cement and clay tile, shingles and
waterproofing foundations.
Working Conditions
The roofer is often
required to work in unpleasant weather conditions. Because the
work is outdoors, working conditions are often hot in the summer
and cold in the winter. He or she must be in good physical
condition to perform the work of the trade, take pride in
performance, and have a commitment to safety in order to protect
themselves and co-workers. |
