Apprentice Information Greater Oregon Roofers Apprenticeship Roofers apply built-up composition roofing and many other materials such as tile, slate, composition shingles, metals, various types of plastic materials, and other building surfaces.
Roofers also remove old materials in preparation for new roofing material.
Roofers work as part of a crew, usually in the open, so they are dependent on good weather conditions. The majority of the work is at some height, so much of the time is spent climbing ladders. Roofers must be physically strong, with flexible muscles and joints. Roofers often work in very hot and cold weather. Complete Trade orientation provided by the sponsor.
