People who choose to work as Roofers are typically not afraid of heights. However, the interviewer asks if you are afraid of heights to ensure that you will not have an issue if they hire you. Hopefully, heights do not bother you. Tell the interviewer that you are not afraid of heights and give an example of the highest roofs you have worked on during your career.

Avoid saying you are afraid of heights, as the interviewer may question your ability to perform the job. If you are scared of heights, be honest and say that while you do not enjoy heights, you have overcome that fear to be a roofer. Assure the interviewer that heights will not be an issue if they hire you.

"No, I am not afraid of heights, but I am cautious and use safety measures while working as a Roofer. I have seen some bad accidents when coworkers have fallen off a roof or ladder, so I am always aware of the dangers of working up high."
