Most companies in the construction industry require a pre-employment drug screen for safety reasons. Some companies may also require random drug screening or screen after an accident or on-the-job injury. Explain that you will not have an issue taking a drug test before being hired to assure the interviewer they have nothing to worry about if they hire you.

Avoid saying you have an issue taking a pre-employment drug test. If you refuse to take the test, the company will assume you have something to hide and not offer you the job. If you are worried about a test coming back positive, you might want to wait to apply and interview for a roofing job until your test is sure to come back clean.

"No, I do not have an issue taking a drug test. I do not take drugs, so I have nothing to worry about. At my last job, we had random drug testing three times a year, and my tests always came back negative."
