Course Highlights*

CRA’s Roof Tile Course will review and train in all aspects of the roof tile system as it applies to Colorado and our unique conditions. Roof tiles have been installed in Colorado since the early 1900s, and over time The System has evolved to meet current code standards, manufacturers’ installation guidelines, specific climate considerations, roof slopes, underlayment systems, and the roof tiles being installed.

This course will start with pre-estimate/proposal requirements that lay the foundation of the system, then review the materials and methods needed to complete the system. The course will also include hands-on training in the shop, appropriate equipment/hand tools, safety hazards and good safety practices/techniques will be demonstrated.

The class is for students who have background in roofing and want to improve what they know.
