What They Do

Roofing helpers work alongside experienced roofers on residential and commercial construction sites, providing essential support that keeps projects moving efficiently. They carry materials like shingles, tiles, and tar from storage areas to the roof, ensuring roofers have everything they need within reach. These helpers set up ladders and scaffolding, load materials onto hoists, and remove old roofing materials during tear-off jobs. Throughout the day, they clean work areas by sweeping debris, disposing of scrap materials, and organizing tools and supplies. They also mix roofing cement, prepare flashing materials, and help position larger items like plywood sheets or rolls of underlayment.
