Why You Should Consider a Career in Roofing

For some individuals, it is hard to determine the next step in the right direction when choosing the career of their preferred choice. College is not for everyone nor is working a nine-to-five in the corporate setting. When most individuals think of roofing, they think of working on the surface of a hot roof installing roofing materials swinging a hammer eight hours a day. However, that is not the case when choosing a career as a roofing specialist for it is actually the exact opposite of what most individuals think of when they think of roofing. 

Roofing Is Hard Work – But We Get To Set Our Schedules

What would be a good career when asked? Many would say they have the opportunity to earn a great living being rewarded for the value that I bring on a daily basis. The opportunity to set my own schedule being able to be flexible. A career that offers product knowledge and education with the ability to become a master at a specific craft. Have the chance to work in an industry that will always be a necessity no matter the economy. All of these points of concern when finding a career can be found in roofing as it is one of the best careers to have especially for a young and ambitious individual. 

Prior to highlighting the day to day of a roofing specialist, it is important to first point out ten reasons as to why specialists love what they do on a daily basis: 

1. Knowledge – The vast knowledge that can be learned in the roofing industry is an education degree in itself. You will learn a lot about yourself, how to deal with people through interaction, roofing materials/product knowledge, developing proper sales tactics when working with clients, and the ability to learn how to work with a winning team. 
2. Job Security – There will always be a demand for roofing, especially in the great state of Texas where summer heat and yearly storms affect the nature of your roofing system. There will always be a need for roofing. 
3. Teamwork – Being a part of a winning team that brings value to the marketplace is a great place to be when looking for the right career. In the world of construction, one can find dishonesty alongside fly-by-night companies. When finding a well-established roofing company with a great reputation, the sky’s the limit when it comes to personal growth with a positive team. 
4. Growth- Personal and career growth can be found when working in the roofing industry. 
5. Room for Promotion – There is a lot of room for promotion and growth when working for the right roofing company. There are many career options in the roofing field such as sales roles, project managers, foreman, sales managers, project supervisors, and upper, office administration, and management positions. 
6. Hands-on training – We love working on site of each job giving representatives the proper training and understanding of what it takes to reroof a home from start to finish. There is also in-house training from manufacturing specialists that educate members on what materials to use when quoting a roof. In order to be successful, you must have the right team behind you, there is all the training you need to succeed in the roofing industry. 
7. Working Outdoors – No one wants to be stuck at a desk all day working inside. When you are a professional roofing representative your truck is your office. Having the freedom to work where you want when you want is a nice addition to the work-life. A little afternoon work done in a coffee shop or a social club is much better than being stuck in the office. 
8. Change of Scenery – Every day is a different day when you are a roofing specialist. Do you hate doing the same thing every single day? Look no further. Starting the day you can always count on meeting unique customers, solving challenging problems that arise, and selling high-quality roofing products to those in need. 
9. Personal Pride – Working as a roofing specialist is like owning your own business. The value that you put into the marketplace determines your reward and your overall career earnings for the year. Imagine having the opportunity to set a financial goal and being able to accomplish that. Talk about a change of life when earning the desired amount of income. What could this do for you and your family? 
10. Something New – Try something new. It is important to be pushed outside of your comfort zone on a daily basis. Roofing offers that excitement for it allows you to do something different on a day-to-day basis. Immense opportunity for the right person who is destined to want a change and a desire to win.
