While women can be found in almost any field of work there is, roofing is a job that is dominated by men. It is a difficult job that requires more strength and stamina than the average woman has. Men are more capable of withstanding the strain of working on hot roofs in the middle of a summer day or not working during the off months, when the weather is cold and harsh. The very nature of the job calls for frequent layoffs and few jobs if the economy is weak. Roofers will repair, install and remove roofs for businesses and for residences.
