Mastery: developing (Level 2)(based on Certification)

  • Damaged or deteriorating roof sections — inspect and assess repair needs using established checklists with minimal supervisor oversight on residential and light commercial projects.
  • Scaffolding systems — erect, brace, and dismantle safely following OSHA standards on multi-story residential job sites with standard oversight.
  • Shingle and membrane layers — install in correctly overlapping sequences using chalk lines and hatchet gauges on moderately complex pitched roofs.
  • Flashing strips at valleys, vents, and wall intersections — cut, fit, cement, and nail to achieve watertight seals on routine roofing assignments.
  • Plastic coatings, fiberglass mats, and felt underlayment — apply over sloped roof decks in proper sequence before shingle installation on familiar roof configurations.
  • Material quantities and crew hours — estimate for standard residential re-roofing jobs using basic measurements and supplier unit-cost references.
  • Angled cuts for shingles and felt at walls, vents, and roof intersections — produce accurately using utility knives and tin snips on typical roof geometries.
  • Crew task sequencing and daily time allocation — coordinate personal work schedule with team members to maintain production pace on active job sites.
  • Customer concerns about roof condition or repair scope — communicate clearly and professionally on site using plain language explanations.
  • Operations monitoring during material application — observe adhesion, alignment, and weather conditions and adjust work pace or methods to maintain quality standards.
