Roof Jobs · New York
Find the right roofing role in New York
Start with the New York results above, then check the worksite and duties in each posting. Roof Jobs includes installation, repair, service, estimating, sales, and leadership opportunities; the job title alone does not tell you which work you will do.
New York City and Long Island
Ask about the actual borough or county, equipment transport, parking, and occupied-building work. Compare an office location with the projects you would visit each day.
Upstate work areas
Treat Albany, Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse as separate bases. For a statewide territory, request the expected travel schedule and distinguish field installation from sales or project oversight.
Before you apply
- Field roles: check the roof systems, hands-on experience, training, access equipment, and tools the employer expects or provides.
- Sales and estimating: distinguish base pay from commission or projected earnings. Ask about leads, site visits, takeoffs, and responsibility after a sale.
- Crew and project leadership: clarify staffing, scheduling, quality checks, and how much hands-on work the position includes.
- The offer: confirm employee or subcontractor status, pay units, expected hours, travel expenses, and weather-related schedule changes. Check any credentials requested for the specific duties and worksite.
Pay research: match the occupation
Roofer statistics cover workers who install or repair roofs (SOC 47-2181; O*NET 47-2181.00). They do not represent every sales, management, waterproofing, or adjacent-trade role on this board. No single wage estimate is presented here as pay for all New York roofing jobs.
Check New York roofer wage data at O*NET. Match the occupation, geography, and data year before comparing an offer. Statewide figures are not local pay guarantees; employment estimates count workers, not current openings.
NOAA’s New York climate summary can help frame questions about outdoor work. Ask the employer about its actual safety procedures and scheduling; climate does not establish hiring demand.
