Avoid simply stating the number of years of experience you have. Elaborate by describing how you gained your experience, how many years you have been a Roofer, your roofing expertise, and how your knowledge will benefit the company if hired. If you are new to the industry, explain that you hope to gain experience working as an apprentice for the company and are excited to have this opportunity.

"I have four years of experience installing and repairing residential and commercial roofs. I started as an apprentice with Mueller Roofing Company and became a licensed Roofing Contractor at the end of my apprenticeship. I have installed all types of roofs, including metal, shingles, clay tiles, and wood shake, and consider wood shake my specialty. That is one of the reasons I am excited to interview for this position since your company's reputation relies on your wood shake roofs."
