We start the week with roof installation
My dad was a roofer, and it’s no surprise that I am also working for a roofing company.
When I was young, my dad did roofing repairs for folks in our area.
Back then, he didn’t need certificates or licenses to do his job. He’d learned the skill from a friend of my grandpa and dad went on to start his own roofing company. It wasn’t a big venture, but he was never out of work. Dad was quite skillful when it comes to all matters roofing service. This made folks in our small town opt to hire him for jobs rather than big companies from the city. When I was old enough, I started to go with my dad to work and help him with roof repair. There was even a time we did several small roof replacements, just the two of us. These weren’t big houses, and the owners were willing to wait up to a week for the work to be completed. By the time I was finishing high school, I knew I wanted to continue with roofing, but perhaps work for a major roofing company. Dad only did residential roofing repairs, but I also wanted to venture into commercial roofing. I found a school in the next state where I completed my studies. Then, I got hired by a roofing company and the rest is history. I find so much of what my dad taught me in those early days to be useful. I work on both residential and commercial roofing jobs in my new city. We start the week with roof installation for a huge home that’s almost complete. Then, we move on to a roofing repair gig.
