The interviewer asks this question to see if you are comfortable performing one of the duties as a Roofer. They want to know that you do not have a problem carrying shingles up a ladder to ensure you will be a good employee if hired. Use an example to demonstrate that you are comfortable performing this duty.

If you are not comfortable carrying shingles up a ladder, the interviewer may pass you over for another candidate. Avoid saying that you are not comfortable performing this duty, even if it is not your favorite part of the job. You could say that there are other parts of the job you like better, but they might still view you as a weaker candidate than others. Respond in a way that shows the interviewer you are comfortable performing this duty as a Roofer.

"Yes, I am comfortable carrying shingles up a ladder. It is physical work, but I enjoy the physical aspect of working as a Roofer. I have carried shingles up ladders as high as three stories and feel extremely confident in my skills."
