Build a Long-Term Roofing Career (Not Just Another Job)

If you’re an experienced roofer tired of rushed installs, inconsistent work, or seasonal slowdowns, or just looking for a new challenge this may be a great opportunity for you!

At The Durable Slate Company, you’ll transition from standard residential roofing into high-skill specialty work including slate, tile, and copper systems—materials that last 50–100+ years through our paid apprenticeship program.

We’re one of the few companies in the U.S. that trains and develops craftsmen in these trades.

What You’ll Do

• Install and repair slate, tile, and metal roofing systems
• Work on historic buildings, churches, and high-end homes
• Perform detailed, precision-based roofing (not production installs)
• Learn specialty techniques most roofers never get exposure to

What We’re Looking For

• Experience in steep slope roofing

• Comfortable working at heights using ladders, lifts, and scaffolding

• Ability to lift up to 50 pounds

• Valid driver’s license with no more than 4 points, pass a pre-employment drug test and background check

• Strong work ethic, reliability, and teamwork

• Willingness and ability to travel to different job sites

• Desire for a long-term career in historic roofing and preservation

Compensation

• Competitive pay, based on experience and skill level

• Performance-based advancement opportunities

• Paid travel time between job sites

Benefits

• Paid in-house and on-the-job training

• Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance after 90 days (Employer pays 50%)

• 401(k) retirement plan

• Quarterly bonuses for attendance and target achievement

• Paid Time Off (PTO) and Paid Holidays

• Promotion opportunities based on performance, not tenure

• Travel logistics and support for multi-site projects

If you’re a skilled, reliable roofer who takes pride in historic craftsmanship, we want to hear from you.
