roofers

High-up repair crew

Roofers are workers who install, repair, or replace roofs on buildings.

The work involves laying shingles, tiles, metal sheets, or other roofing materials, and is physically demanding—often performed in extreme heat or cold at significant heights.

The roofers finished the job before the storm hit.
