Roofers in DeKalb IL do not actually defy gravity but they must certainly defeat it.? The roof is the top of a building and, even on single story houses; it is noticeably above the ground level. Since people will be inside, underneath the roof, it is essential that the roof stays in place and does not fall off. The job of any roofer is to build new roofs, maintain them and ensure that they remain in place – not just on fair weather days but also under duress from nature in the form of storms, blizzards or other calamities.

I cannot recollect tornadoes or earthquakes attacking us in DeKalb IL but we certainly do have heavy rain from time to time along with snowfalls in the winter; so a roof problem could soon escalate down into the home itself. This makes it important that the people who built our roof (and those that have maintained it since) need to be suitably qualified to work as Roofers in DeKalb IL.

Do Not Look Down On Someone Who Works With Their Hands

Our society sometimes has the unfortunate attitude that, unless someone has a university degree and works as a professional in an office, that person must be somewhat ignorant and something of a failure. There are numerous, valid reasons why someone might not have undertaken and passed a university degree course. One is that they feel that their skills are more aligned to hand work rather than to absorbing dry, academic facts – they prefer practical to theoretical.

Their Work Is Important To You

The Roofers in DeKalb IL fall into the above category and should not be thought of as “high school drop outs”. They will have at least a high school diploma and will have successfully completed an apprenticeship program of 4,000 hours training over a three year period.

During apprenticeship they will attend classroom instruction periods interposed with practical training experience under a qualified roofer working on actual roofs. It is only after passing their final apprenticeship exams that they will be able to apply to be licensed as a qualified roofer capable of safely installing or fixing the tiles or shingles that become your roof. If a shingle is not placed properly, it could be your head that it falls on!
