The interviewer will ask this question to gain insight into your experience working with different roofing materials. If the company installs metal roofs, they will be looking for a Roofer with experience installing this type of material. If you have never installed a metal roof before, be honest and explain that you do not have experience with metal roofs, but you are eager and willing to learn. If you have installed metal 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 or not. You should also avoid saying you do not like installing metal roofs or have no desire to do so. If the company installs metal roofing as one of its services, they will pass you over for another candidate since you have no desire to work with this roofing material.

"Yes, I have installed many metal roofs over the past six years. I enjoy metal roofs because they are lightweight, easy to install, and the process goes much quicker than other types of roofing material."
