Different types of roofing jobs include estimating, installing roofing materials, and removing old roofs. Specialized teams are often required for rubber roofing jobs. The job estimator is critical in providing accurate pricing and information to potential customers.
There are several types of roofing work, from estimating the work to actually installing the roofing materials. Tile removers, tile installers and tar applicators are some of the different roofing jobs that are common in most roofing job sites. On some types of rubber roofs, one of the most grueling jobs for the roofers is spreading the pea stone, while some green roofing systems have workers resting on a waterproof membrane placed on the roof.
One of the most critical of all carpenter jobs is that of a job estimator. This person, usually also the team foreman, meets with a potential customer and provides an estimate of the price for a new roof. If the estimate is too high, the job may be lost to another roofing company, and if the estimate is too low, the job may go unprofitable, or the owner may become angry with a final bill that is much higher than the estimated cost. Since the estimator is usually the first person the customer actually meets, the pricing of all the different materials, as well as colors, features and warranty information must be clearly understood by the estimator in order to provide the customer with the proper information.
On some roofs, the entire existing roof must be removed. This type of work is given to the assigned team. These roofing jobs include not only the removal of old shingles, shingles or metal roofing materials, the roofing material itself, typically plywood must be removed down to the exposed joists. The roof is usually rebuilt by teams with more carpentry experience. After the roof is rebuilt, it is covered with felt paper and then shingles, shingles or metal sheets over the actual roofs. This is usually accomplished with the aid of air nail guns rather than the older hammer and nails method.
Some of the most involved commercial carpenter jobs are rubber roofing jobs. This type of work usually requires a specialist team to remove the pea stone used to hold the roof together. After the stone has been completely removed, the old roof is lifted off the building and dumped onto a trailer for recycling. Workers with carpenter jobs such as applicators and installers cut and glue rubber sheeting to the roof, making sure to fit tightly to all the roof features which could be chimneys, vents and antennas. Once applied and properly fitted, a tar crew wipes hot tar over all seams.
