In asking this question, the interviewer wants to determine if you have the qualities they are looking for in a Roofer. The strength you describe should relate to the position. Review the job announcement, look at the qualities that the company is looking for, and use one of those keywords in your answer. If the company is specific about the traits they want in a Roofer and you use one of those as your greatest strength, the interviewer will be more likely to look at you as a strong candidate. For example, suppose the company advertises they are looking for a dependable, safety-conscious Roofer with excellent communication skills and attention to detail. You should then choose one of those keywords as your greatest strength.

Avoid describing a strength that does not relate to the position of Roofer. For example, if your most significant strength is your ability to type 100 words per minute, that would not apply to this position. The interviewer wants to hear that you have the qualities to be a successful Roofer and benefit the company if hired.

"My greatest strength is my attention to detail. I find this strength is beneficial as a Roofer because there are many details involved in installing a roof correctly. If I did not pay attention to detail, I could overlook a key component of the installation, which could cause problems for the client down the road."
