roofer Occupational skill for the role 'roofer' (also: asphalt roofer, house roofer, felt roofer, tinsmith, roof slater, roofing carpenter). Use when the user asks for typical roofer work such as: Inspect problem roofs to determine the best repair procedures.; Set up scaffolding to provide safe access to roofs.; Cement or nail flashing strips of metal or shingle over joints to make them watertight.

Roofer

Roofers cover structures with roofs. They install the weight-bearing elements of a roof, either flat or pitched, then cover it with a weatherproof layer.

Core workflow

  1. Inspect problem roofs to determine the best repair procedures.
  2. Set up scaffolding to provide safe access to roofs.
  3. Cement or nail flashing strips of metal or shingle over joints to make them watertight.
  4. Install, repair, or replace single-ply roofing systems, using waterproof sheet materials such as modified plastics, elastomeric, or other asphaltic compositions.
  5. Cut felt, shingles, or strips of flashing to fit angles formed by walls, vents, or intersecting roof surfaces.
  6. Install vapor barriers or layers of insulation on flat roofs.
  7. Cover exposed nailheads with roofing cement or caulking to prevent water leakage or rust.
  8. Install partially overlapping layers of material over roof insulation surfaces, using chalk lines, gauges on shingling hatchets, or lines on shingles.
