How to find a job at a roofing company?

I need a full-time job. I need this job right now to pay rent… So i was thinking either at a roofing company, or a construction company,,, as a labourer/apprentice sort of thing… These types of companies don’t usually have offices. So how do I apply? Phone call, Mail? Because I don’t know anybody who could get me a job, or owns one of these companies. PLEASE HELP, THANKYOU

Wize Guy answers:

Next time you see a construction sign call the number and tell them you are looking for work as a roofer. They may be able to help you or can refer you to someone who can. Try calling contractors from you area in the phone book too.

Helen asks…

are there any roofing companies that offer a free or reduced roof job as a promotional deal in illinois?

Wize Guy answers:

With all the storm damage last year roofers have more work than they can handle.
so it’s unlikely.
But!
you can try to contact the manufactures someone may have a new product line they want to showcase.
My buddy had those solar electric shingles installed on his roof for just the cost of labor that way…lucky bastard!

George asks…

What kind of job can a person with roofing contractor experience find?

My brother is a roofing contractor. He has more than 20 years of experience in this field. He used to have his own roofing business which was successful up until now (because of economy crisis). Now he is without job. He has been trying to find a job with a large roofing companies. However, he has an experience in residential roofing rather than commercial. I was wondering if there is possibly a quick course that he could take at home to be able to do something else. It could be roofing related or something else. Please advise. He has lots of pride and all that really brings him down. Thank you!

Wize Guy answers:

How about a Roofing/Building Material wholesale company? Outside sales position? His experience would really be beneficial to his customers. Or a technical support or trainer for a roofing manufacturer try the Metal & Asphalt Shingle manufacturers, if he was in the business he hopefully should have some contacts to reach out to. My best advice would be to network within the industry, and to be patient. Something should come along; but not without his local “industry” knowing he is out there and looking for an opportunity.

Ruth asks…

How should I go about contacting a roofing company about a nail in my tire they caused?

A company is doing roofing on 4 houses around my house and they have a large dumpster next to my house and one of the nails that they use is now in my tire. Should I call the company about it and if so what exactly should I say?
Edit: It is the exact nail that they use in their roofing. I actually collected samples and the tire could not be patched at 3 different places and two new tires had to be purchased by me.

Wize Guy answers:

Just take the nail to one of the contractor and ask are these the type of nails used in that roof, because one ended up in my driveway, then it and my tire decided to make friends now I’m out 15 bucks. I’m sure that won’t get up tight over a $15 bill, that carry insurance they cover them for millions.
