What Exactly Is A Roofer?
A roofer is someone who works on roofs in general. Consequently, this person could be a licensed roofing contractor, a general contractor who also handles roofs, an unlicensed roofer, or someone employed by a roofing company.
You must receive clarity from a “roofer” before employing them. Are they authorized? Is it a roofing contractor or a general contractor licensed, and do they work as part of a team? Is it true that they work for or own a roofing company? Do they use subcontractors to complete the job?
And, as with any contractor you employ to perform work on your house, collect references, a copy of his driver’s license, a contractor’s license, and the name and location of his firm so you can follow up on any claims made.
What is a Roofing Company?
A roofing firm often specializes in a few areas, one of which is roofs. A firm will typically employ a team of certified roofers and have some industry experience. Reputable organizations will also do background checks on the persons they recruit, which may provide you with some peace of mind. Roofing businesses are likely to provide extensive warranties and are unlikely to subcontract the work to someone other than their team.
However, just because a firm exists does not mean they are the ideal option for the work; you still need to do your diligence in obtaining references and other information and following up on them to establish whether this company is suited for your project.
What Exactly Do Roofers Do?
Roofers construct building roofs made of various materials such as asphalt, foam, tile, and metal. They also undertake additional roofing-related activities such as regular roof maintenance, roof inspections to check on the state of a roof, repairing a roof as required, or completely replacing a roof with the same roofing material and structure, or with an altogether new design.
Roofers often do the following tasks:
- Calculate the number of materials required by measuring the roof.
- Replace any posts or plywood that are broken or decaying.
- Install vapour barriers or insulation layers.
- Align roofing materials with the roof’s borders.
- Roof materials should be cut to fit around walls or vents.
- Cover exposed nail or screw heads with roofing cement or caulk to avoid leaks.
