Jak zostać dachownikiem w Stanach Zjednoczonych

Roofing in the US doesn't always require formal education — many roofers start by joining a crew and learning hands-on. However, apprenticeship programs through the United Union of Roofers, Waterproofers & Allied Workers provide structured training with classroom instruction in safety, materials, and building science.

Licensing requirements vary by state. States like California, Florida, and Arizona require contractors to be licensed. OSHA safety training (at minimum the 10-hour construction course) is expected industry-wide. The median pay is $47,110, but storm-prone regions (Florida, Texas, the Midwest tornado belt) see higher demand and overtime opportunities that push earnings well above the median.
