Summary

With over 22 years of experience in the roofing industry, I have developed a strong expertise in both metal and tiled roofing. Around 15 years ago, I transitioned into self-employment, starting Skyline Roofing Solutions. Since then, I’ve specialized in insurance assessments and repairs for both domestic and commercial roofing projects.

In addition to roofing work, I’ve worked as an external assessor for several insurance builders, providing loss adjustment services, leak detection, emergency make safes and quality assessments of completed roofing jobs. Throughout my career, I have managed a team of 1-5 employees and coordinated with external contractors for specialized trades. I am able to adapt quickly to changing conditions and challenges, overseeing all aspects of roofing operations, including site measurements, material procurement, safety system organization, and coordination of staff and subcontractors.

I’m now seeking to take the next step in my career within the roofing trade, aiming to expand my knowledge and further my professional growth.
