Description

  • Match replacement slate on existing and historic roofs
  • Work with copper flashing, ridge caps, snow guards, and specialty metal details
  • Follow project specifications and historic restoration standards
  • Maintain safe, clean, OSHA-compliant job sites
  • Work on residential, commercial, institutional, and historic properties throughout PA, NJ, DE, and MD

What We're Looking For

  • 3+ years of slate roofing, synthetic slate, or steep-slope roofing experience preferred
  • Strong understanding of slate roofing practices and materials
  • Comfortable working on steep roofs with fall protection
  • Copper flashing or specialty metals experience is a plus
  • Valid driver's license
  • Ability to lift 75 lbs and work outdoors year-round

$25-$35+/hour based on experience. Outstanding slate craftsmen with advanced restoration and slate-matching experience may qualify for higher compensation.

Build roofs that will be admired for generations.
