The demand for skilled roofing professionals is increasing but there are only few available in the market. New construction and roof repairs are common and the need for a roofing professional who can complete a job in time is rising. Apart from skill, a roofing professional is also valued for communication and timely completion.
Pro roofers are usually independent contractors or a part of a roofing company. They partner with new construction builders or lumber companies for roofing jobs. Roofers start with minimum wages but their pay increases with the number of years in business and the number of projects completed. On an average, a pro roofer earns about $30, 000 to $65, 000 per year. The pay could be higher in areas with extreme climate such as Texas or Minnesota.
A pro roofer must be familiar with different types of roof materials such as asphalt, slate, tile, metal, and so on and types such as low-slope or steep-slope roofs. They must know the types of damages such as wind damage, hail damage, moss damage, and so on. Roofing calculations and material estimations are a must know for a pro roofer. A pro roofer must be able to judge and decide whether to repair a roof or to replace a roof.
Networking is another essential skill for a pro roofer in order to succeed. Pro roofers leverage the social media for contacts and improving business. If a roofer is part of a major roofing company, they receive paid leave, training, and health insurance as well. The career paths for a pro roofer could be a Senior Roofer, Construction Manager, or a Business owner. Pro roofer also is an expert in other related jobs such as siding and home improvement which will help them get work in off-peak season.
For a Pro roofer, certification plays an important role in getting projects. The training and certification could be from a specific manufacturer or a roofing company. They undergo mandatory training to learn about the product installation. Some manufacturers require that their product gets installed only by a certified roofing professional for the warranty to be effective. Certification helps a pro roofer acquire knowledge and gain customer confidence.
Pro roofers also acquire safety training from the roofing companies they work for. The general safety practices and how to respond in an emergency situations are required for a pro roofer.

They also must be familiar with the solutions for roof leaks, nail pops, missing shingles, or any defective components.
Certification helps a pro roofer in assessing damages, preparing reports, and procuring documents for insurance. Different certification exist for commercial roofing, residential roofing, and wind roof damage. Certification gives a pro roofer authority to compare against other options and make a better decision.
Licensing is important for a Pro roofer to practice the roofing. Respective state licensing must be acquired before starting a project. For example, Illinois licensing costs $300 for unlimited residential, commercial, and industrial license. Pro roofer must pass a test of 125 questions for the Illinois unlimited license. The test will cover different areas of roofing such as safety, measurement, material, estimation, types, and so on. There are certain general requirements and guidelines for licensing.
