A roofing & skylight installer is a very important green career. As the government requires more buildings to be energy efficient, roofs play a huge factor.

With the technology the way it is, knowing how to install skylights and roofs are pivotal.

To become a roofer you will need to have experience. This experience can only come with an apprenticeship. After 3 years of on the job training you will then be able to get certified. Certification usually only cost $100 or so, but could vary state to state. It may be beneficial that you take roofing classes during your apprenticeship. Once you are a fully license roofer, you should look into possibly joining the roofers union.
