Intro to Roofing


  • Hammerstone: Carpentry for Women 3285 Jacksonville Rd Trumansburg, NY (map)

Who is this class for:
This course is open to women-identifying and non-binary folx as well as trans men of any skill level without a prerequisite.

Description: 
While the working conditions for installing roofs are challenging, the installation of common roofing materials is actually quite straightforward. And like everything in construction and life, the devil is in the details. In this course we discuss a wide range of roofing materials and what factors go into choosing them: aesthetics, cost, durability, etc. We practice installing several different types of roofing materials, and focus on critical transitions where flashing is essential.

HOW TO CHOOSE A PAYMENT >

  • I consider myself middle income/wealth. Paying this price may be a sacrifice, but I can find the resources to do so. This is the full cost of running a course including paying our teachers a fair wage, covering insurance, maintaining tools and facilities, managing administration, and supporting our family.

  • I consider myself low-income/low-wealth. I cannot access this course without financial help.

  • I consider myself low-middle income/wealth. Paying full price for this course presents somewhat of a financial hardship.

  • I consider myself upper-middle income/wealth. I would like to make a donation on top of the full price of the course in order to help subsidize access for those who cannot pay the full tuition.

  • I have the resources to make a substantial donation to ensure that these classes remain accessible to people of all income/wealth levels.
