Roofing sucks as a business, but it has a decent profit margin, compared to other sub-specialties.
It's not enjoyable, the risks are comparitively high, roofing labor is an endless pain in the ass, but the demand is high, and because it's not enjoyable it's a bit easier to carve out a market share.
The nice thing about roofing is it's more recession proof. People don't NEED to replace their carpets - but when the roof starts leaking, they need to fix it.
Frame carpenters, finish carpenters, installation plumbers and electricians aren't needed so much in this economy - but roofing is constantly degrading no matter what.
Lousy work tho.
