Texas is known for being the home of rugged individualists, and Cedar Park’s residents are no different. However there are still jobs which even the most rugged individualist will seek help on. Roofing seems to be a prime example. Now there are some obvious reasons why, but it does serve a purpose to take a moment to celebrate the hard work roofers do at an unexciting job.
A lot of people have issues with heights if not an outright fear. For them climbing atop a roof to do much of anything is borderline impossible. It’s also patently unsafe to put yourself in a risky position that you don’t have the nerve to handle. If fear of heights is a problem for you then admit it and call in professionals. There are a fair number of people who get terrified just cleaning the gutters because being near the top of the ladder is too much.
The other factor is that roofing is actually fairly skilled labor. People with office jobs tend to have one of two approaches to manual labor, it’s either impossibly easy and any idiot with a wrench could do it, or it’s a bizarre eldritch practice of dark magic. Roofing is difficult, it requires skill and experience but it’s not as though Cedar Park roofers were born with some innate skill. Instead it’s simply that most roofers have been doing the job so long and so many times they’ve gotten good at the act of moving around a roof (slanted surface elevated above the ground) while carrying heavy items. It doesn’t take a bizarre skill set to nail in a shingle, but it requires experience with hammer and nail and more importantly with the setting.
If properly devoted a home owner could learn the skills well enough to forgo the need to hire Cedar Park roofers. The question is of worth. We don’t need roofers that often, and when we do we want the job done properly the first time not botched because we don’t know what we’re doing. Add on the fact that for a resident of Cedar Park they might have to do this work in the blistering sun without cover and it becomes clear why it’s so attractive to hand the job off to someone else. This won’t make you happy the next time you face the bill from a roofer, but perhaps keeping in mind the hard work that went into developing the skill set necessary to do the job, and then the fact that it’s a job not many people want to do, we’ll be more understanding about the bill.
