roofing

Roofing is when you put a special covering on the top of a house or building.The covering usually is made of strong materials like metal, asphalt, or tiles so it can protect the house or building from water, snow, wind, and sunlight. Roofers put the covering on with nails or glue and often use tar or tar paper to seal the joints and make sure water doesn't leak in.
