Want to be a roofing foreman, or maybe company CEO? Roofing is so much more than well-paying manual labor. Learn how to turn your entry role into a successful, and financially rewarding, long-term career.

Starting a roofing business is possible with the right mix of hands-on experience, licensing, and capital. Field experience is critical to starting a business. Real-world knowledge and skills are required to ensure the work is performed properly and costs are estimated accurately, as cost estimation errors can be crippling. If the company founder lacks this experience, they must partner with an experienced foreman.

There is a specific, quiet moment every roofer knows. The crew is packing up, the debris is cleared, and you step back to look at the finished product. That feeling — pride in the craft and the satisfaction of a system built to last — is what we call a Labor of Love.
