Roof Installer — Earn $70K–$83K/Year | W-2 + Benefits | $1,000 New-Hire Bonus

Stop roofing for someone else's profit margin. If you're an experienced roofer, you've probably lived the 1099 life: chasing checks, no benefits, no overtime, gone the minute the work slows down. Rose Roofing doesn't use subcontractors. Every installer on our crews is a W-2 employee with a steady paycheck, health insurance, PTO, and production bonuses that reward the crews who install the most.

Pay

• $22–$28/hour guaranteed base, set by your experience
• Production bonuses on completed installs — this is how our installers get to $70,000–$83,000/year
• $1,000 bonus after your first 60 days on the team
• Overtime available with Team Lead approval, paid at time-and-a-half
• Reliable bi-weekly pay — no waiting on a GC to cut a check

How the math works: At $28/hour you're at $58K in base wages before a single bonus. Production bonuses on the roofs your crew completes stack thousands more on top every season — install more, earn more. That's the whole formula: a real hourly wage you can count on, plus production pay that rewards crews who move. No commission games, no draw schemes.

Benefits

• Health insurance
• Paid time off

Responsibilities

• Tearing off old roofing systems and keeping the worksite clean
• Installing complete roofing systems — underlayment, ice & water shield, ventilation, shingles, metal, and flashing — built to be watertight
• Cutting and fitting materials around chimneys, vents, valleys, and walls
• Sealing joints, penetrations, and nail heads for a leak-free finish
• Setting up ladders, staging, and hoisting equipment the right way, every time
• Working as a crew and keeping your Team Lead in the loop on progress and problems

Requirements

• Experience installing residential roofing (shingle experience required; metal a plus)
• Confident with the tools of the trade — nail guns, roofing shovels, tin snips, and everything on your belt
• Detail-oriented: straight lines, clean flashing, no callbacks
• Basic math for measuring and material counts
• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation to job sites
• OSHA 10 card is a plus — we'll help you get certified if you don't have one
• Able to lift 50+ lbs, work at heights, and put in full days outdoors in Virginia weather
• Available for occasional weekend work when weather pushes the schedule — rain delays don't move deadlines, and weekend hours are more hours on your check

Why Rose

• W-2 employment — taxes handled, workers' comp coverage, real employment protections
• A crew, not a crowd — you report to an Install Team Lead who's on the roof with you, not a dispatcher
• Growth path — our Team Leads come from our install crews. Show us you're that guy and we'll build you toward it
• Steady work — we sell year-round so you work year-round
