A Day in the Life of Working for High and Tight Roofing!

Roofing may seem like a simple trade, but it requires a unique combination of physical endurance, technical skill, and a solid work ethic.

With the ever-changing weather in Southeast Texas, including hurricanes, heat waves, and storms, roofers must be prepared for demanding conditions.

Recently, Macy Meyer from the popular news segment MakeMacyDoIt on KFDM in Beaumont and this segment sponsored by Workforce Solutions Southeast Texas, spent a day with High and Tight Roofing Contractors to experience firsthand what it takes to work for a professional roofing company.

Through her segment, viewers gained an inside look at the skills required for the job and the dedication needed to succeed.

The Reality of Roofing in Southeast Texas

Blake Cliett, the owner of High and Tight Roofing, describes roofing as "physically challenging but not overly complex."

A strong foundation in general construction is necessary, including the ability to use tools effectively, read measurements, and understand angles as well as fractions.

These are skills many might not expect to use after school; however, they are essential in roofing.

Roofing is a well-rounded job that is both straightforward and detail-oriented.

Many people can excel in it as long as they have the right attitude and the capability to learn.

How Can You Join High and Tight Roofing Contractors?

A strong work ethic is the most essential qualification for those pursuing a career as a roofer with High and Tight Roofing.

Roofing is a physically demanding job, often requiring workers to carry 80-pound bundles of shingles and sheets of plywood weighing 50 to 60 pounds.

Roofers must be prepared to work in intense heat, especially in the summer when roofing projects peak.

As Cliett points out, "Are you willing to show up when you're supposed to? Are you willing to work hard and sweat?"

These qualities are crucial for anyone looking to enter the industry.

At High and Tight Roofing, crews are efficiently structured to be certain that every project is completed correctly and on time.

A typical team consists of a crew leader overseeing the entire job, workers specializing in tear-offs, and ground workers dedicated to cleanup.

New hires often start with basic tasks and work up to installation as they gain experience.

What Can Customers Expect from High and Tight Roofing?

High and Tight Roofing is known for its professionalism and efficiency.

Most residential roofing jobs are completed in a single day, though larger projects can take two to three weeks.

The company ensures that each job is staffed with the right number of skilled workers to maintain high-quality results.

Southeast Texas is no stranger to extreme weather, which means roofs endure a lot of wear and tear.

While a properly installed roof should last over 20 years, poor quality materials and inferior labor can significantly shorten its lifespan.

High and Tight Roofing prioritizes durability and excellence, making sure that their customers receive top-tier service and long-lasting home protection.
