What is a roof jack?

A roof jack is a piece of metal equipment used in construction for supporting roof materials such as shingles, tiles, or metal panels. It is designed to lift and hold the roofing material in place while workers install or repair the roof. Roof jacks are typically adjustable to accommodate different roof pitches and can be attached to the roof deck or ridge pole for added stability. They are usually made of steel or aluminum for durability and strength. Roof jacks are an essential tool for any roofing job to ensure safety and efficiency.
