The interviewer will ask this question to gain insight into your experience working with different roofing materials. If the company installs tile or slate roofs, they will be looking for a Roofer with experience installing this type of material. If you have never used these materials before, be honest and explain that you do not have experience with tile or slate roofing, but you are eager and excited to learn. If you have installed tile or slate roofs, describe your experience with this roofing material.

Avoid responding with a simple yes or no answer since the interviewer wants you to elaborate on whether you have experience with these types of roofing material or not. You should also avoid saying that you do not like installing tile or slate roofs or have no desire to do so. If the company installs slate or tile roofing as one of its services, they will pass you over for another candidate if you have no desire to work with this type of material.

"No, I have never installed tile or slate roofing in my one year of roofing experience. I have installed shingles and metal roofing, but I am excited to learn how to work with tile and slate roofing. I pick new things up quickly and would enjoy the opportunity to learn from your company."
