Casper Licensing • ICC G14-N Roofing Contractor • 60 Questions • 3 Hours • 2018 IBC / IRC / IPC
Wyoming Roofing Contractor exam prep starts with one detail that can save you a lot of trouble: Wyoming does not issue a single statewide roofing contractor license. The city or county where the roof is located may set its own contractor licensing, examination, experience, and insurance rules. That means a roofer planning to work in Casper needs to investigate Casper requirements instead of copying a checklist written for another state. Nobody wants to study the wrong test while a roof waits for repairs.
For roofing contractors preparing to qualify in Casper, a useful exam pathway is the ICC G14-N National Roofing Contractor/Subcontractor examination. The Casper Wyoming G14-N exam book package from Contractor Exam Preps lists three 2018 code references for that test. The city still controls who may apply, whether the examination is accepted, which classification fits the work, and when a license can be issued. A passing exam result is one piece of the process, not a finished contractor license.
Roofing work combines jobsite skill with code requirements. You may know how to tear off old shingles, fasten underlayment, install a valley, or stop a leak around a chimney. The examination can still ask you to compare conditions in the building and residential codes, find a drainage rule, or recognize when an existing roof needs more than a new top layer. Knowing how to install a roof is valuable. Knowing which code requirement applies can keep that roof from turning into an expensive callback.
A strong preparation plan therefore has two tracks. One track covers the licensing office: location, classification, application, experience proof, insurance, fees, and approval. The other covers the exam: codes, materials, weather protection, flashing, drainage, reroofing, and reference-book navigation. Keep the tracks separate on your checklist, then bring them together before starting regulated work.
The ICC National Contractor/Trades Examination Information Bulletin published in June 2026 lists 60 multiple-choice questions, an open-book format, and a three-hour limit for the G14 roofing contractor examination. The listed references are the 2018 International Building Code (IBC), 2018 International Residential Code (IRC), and 2018 International Plumbing Code (IPC). Confirm that your jurisdiction accepts this exam and that the latest ICC catalog still lists the same format before paying for an appointment.
The published content outline groups the test into Administration and General Requirements, Types of Roofing Material and Application, Fasteners/Flashings/Drainage/Scuppers, and Re-Roofing. Think of these as four connected parts of the same roof rather than four separate jobs. For example, a question about replacing a low-slope membrane can also involve a roof drain, an inspection, and a rule about removing existing layers.
The ICC bulletin displays topic percentages of 28, 35, 28, and 12 respectively. Those printed values total 103 percent, not 100 percent. Rather than quietly changing a published number, this guide shows the categories as they appear in the bulletin and reminds readers to check for updates. The percentages are useful as broad study priorities, but they should not be converted into exact promised question counts.
Open book is helpful only when you know how to use the books. On a three-hour exam, you have an average of three minutes per question. A candidate who spends five minutes finding every chapter will have a very long day and a very short amount of time left. Use chapter headings, the index, definitions, tables, figures, and exceptions in every practice session.
Start with the roof assembly. A finished surface is only as reliable as the material below it. Study deck condition, roof covering selection, underlayment, insulation where applicable, attachment, flashing, ventilation, drainage, and the different ways water moves across a roof. When you understand what each layer is supposed to do, questions about a missing component become easier to solve.
Steep-slope roofing may involve asphalt shingles, wood products, tile, slate, and other approved coverings. Review slope limitations, fasteners, underlayment placement, roof edges, valleys, eaves, penetrations, and material-specific requirements. A shingle manufacturer may recommend one installation pattern while a local code and project conditions establish additional limits. The exam tests how you interpret requirements, not just what a crew happens to do out of habit.
Low-slope roofing deserves its own time. Study membranes, hot-mopped or built-up systems, roof surface preparation, sealing, seams, compatible materials, and drainage paths. Water that stands in the wrong place can find a way inside. Knowing the difference between a roof covering, waterproofing detail, and drainage component is useful both during a code examination and on the job.
Roof drainage can send you to the plumbing code, even though you are studying for a roofing examination. That feels odd until you remember what a roof drain does. Review primary drainage, overflow or secondary provisions where applicable, scuppers, conductors, gutters, and sizing concepts. Practice identifying when the question is really about water disposal rather than roof covering materials.
The 2018 IBC supports commercial and other buildings covered by the building code. The 2018 IRC concentrates on one- and two-family dwellings and their residential roofing details. The 2018 IPC is important for roof drainage and stormwater provisions. The Casper roofing book package brings these three reference titles together. Always follow the current ICC permitted-material rules rather than assuming that any edition or handwritten insert is acceptable.
Try a simple reference drill. Read a sample question, identify the building type and roof system, decide which book is most likely to contain the answer, and locate the applicable section. Read the whole requirement, including exceptions and table footnotes, before choosing an answer. Then write down where you found it. The next time a similar problem appears, you will know which direction to turn without guessing.
Additional study resources can help with practical installation and estimating. Contractor Exam Preps sells Roofing Construction and Estimating and the 2025 NRCA Steep-Slope Roofing Manual. These can broaden your roofing knowledge, but they are supplemental study products for this discussion, not extra G14-N exam-room references. Three approved code books do not magically become five because a shopping cart has room.
The City of Casper contractor licensing page says applications are reviewed by Community Development and the Chief Building Official. Applicants generally need completed forms, experience documentation where required, examination proof, and insurance before issuance. Casper's published roofing classification authorizes installing, repairing, or constructing roofs and associated roofing materials and identifies at least one year of roofing trade experience as a criterion. Verify every detail using the current city forms.
Cheyenne uses a different municipal system. Its Contractor Licensing Regulations describe local business classifications, qualified supervisors, insurance, and examinations where required. General roofing appears within its subcontractor classifications, but the city decides which class and qualifying exam suit a particular business. Do not assume that a Casper approval automatically allows work in Cheyenne, or that a Cheyenne contractor can ignore Casper application steps.
Other Wyoming communities can have different permit, registration, and inspection procedures. If you accept projects in more than one town, make a separate line in your work calendar for each jurisdiction. Check rules before advertising services, signing contracts, beginning a tear-off, or sending a crew to a jobsite. This habit is much less expensive than discovering after the fact that a permit or license was missing.
Week one should cover the licensing authority and book organization. Weeks two and three should cover administration, building types, roof materials, roof assemblies, and code navigation. Week four can focus on fasteners, flashings, storm drainage, gutters, and scuppers. Week five should address reroofing, mixed code problems, and common weak subjects. Week six belongs to timed practice, wrong-answer review, appointment confirmation, and final reference checks.
You do not need to spend every evening reading until the coffee tastes like roofing tar. Short, consistent practice sessions are more useful than a heroic weekend with three open books and no idea what you learned. Try 30 minutes of focused code lookup followed by 20 minutes of practice questions. Once a week, review the topics you missed most often and track whether your answer times are improving.
Use two logs. The licensing log records applications, experience records, fees, insurance documents, city replies, and permit questions. The exam log records the topic, source book, code location, why you missed the answer, and how long the question took. These logs reveal different problems. Missing an insurance certificate is not solved by another practice quiz, and a code lookup problem is not solved by calling the license counter.
Roofing has real fall, ladder, weather, tool, and material-handling hazards. Study OSHA construction safety as a practical subject and comply with current safety rules on the job. The G14 bulletin's three listed exam references are code books, so do not assume a separate OSHA manual is permitted inside the G14 testing room. Safety knowledge is important even when it is not listed as a standalone scored category.
A good roofing contractor also understands estimates, scope descriptions, materials, cleanup, disposal, customer communication, and warranty terms. An accurate estimate needs roof dimensions, waste factors, disposal, underlayment, flashing, labor, equipment, and the possibility of hidden deck damage. The better you understand these choices, the better your projects can run after licensing.
This guide is organized to make the next steps clear. The tables explain the local licensing path and the ICC examination; the diagrams connect roof components; the chart shows the published test categories; the six-week plan gives you a schedule; the product cards link to relevant Contractor Exam Preps materials; and the frequently asked questions cover common concerns. Use the official city and ICC pages as final authorities whenever an exam date, book list, or license requirement changes.
Important Wyoming Roofing Contractor Licensing Update: Wyoming has no single statewide roofing contractor license. Casper issues a local roofing classification, and the ICC G14-N exam is a relevant testing path. The ICC bulletin published June 30, 2026 lists 60 questions, three hours, open book, and 2018 IBC, IRC, and IPC references. Its topic percentages total 103% as printed, so do not turn those shares into exact question counts. Confirm acceptance, references and application rules with the City of Casper and ICC bulletin. Contractors in Cheyenne or other locations must verify their own municipal requirements.
A Wyoming roofing contractor installs, repairs, replaces, or constructs roof systems as permitted by the local licensing authority and the approved work classification. The work can include roof coverings, underlayments, flashing, weather protection, drainage accessories, and related roofing materials. Whether structural alterations or additional specialty work are allowed depends on the local rules and project scope.
Casper's contractor classification description specifically identifies a Roofing Contractor classification. Its published scope concerns roofs and associated roofing materials and calls for roofing trade experience. Other communities may use broader or narrower business classes, with different supervisor, test, insurance, or registration requirements.
The contractor license belongs to the appropriate business or person under local regulations, while the ICC exam measures trade-related code knowledge. Do not treat an exam pass as permission to operate in every Wyoming community. Always check permits, inspections, insurance, worker safety, and any separately regulated work.
This article serves roofing business owners, foremen, subcontractors, experienced installers, and qualifying individuals planning to prepare for the Casper-focused G14-N exam while following the specific jurisdiction's application instructions.

See the ICC National Contractor/Trades bulletin and Casper contractor licensing instructions for authoritative updates.
The first four headings are the ICC G14's published content categories. The remaining four are supporting study topics and are not separate official scored categories.
Plan reading, definitions, permits, inspections, general compliance, and the steps before work begins. The ICC published share is 28%. Practice quickly locating administrative sections in the code.
Shingle roofing, flat roofing, hot mopping, membranes, material requirements, and roof assembly provisions. The ICC published share is 35%, the largest displayed group.
Study attachment, metal flashing, accessories, roof drains, gutters, and scuppers. This group is printed as 28%. The IPC can be essential when drainage is the real subject.
Practice recognizing when materials are removed, when layers are added, and when roof structure or roof-ceiling assemblies need repairs. The printed share is 12%.
Understand how slope, roof deck conditions, compatibility, and surface preparation affect the installation method and applicable requirements.
Choose the 2018 IRC for one- and two-family dwelling conditions and the 2018 IBC for broader building applications. Avoid searching every book without a reason.
Review roof drain systems, leaders, scuppers, and the relationship between storm drainage design and roof waterproofing.
Maintain an independent safety and estimating review for actual roofing projects. These are practical preparation areas, not extra ICC G14 scored categories.
The ICC bulletin's listed shares add to 103%, which appears inconsistent. The chart later in this guide reproduces the displayed values for transparency. Do not estimate precise question totals from that inconsistent sum.
Start by confirming the City of Casper's accepted exam. Then make a reference map for the 2018 IBC, IRC, and IPC. Work from the four official ICC categories instead of treating a general roofing manual as the complete exam outline.
Give substantial time to roofing materials and applications, fasteners, flashings, drainage, and code administration. Work carefully on reroofing, too. Because an open-book test depends on locating the right rule, speed and accuracy both matter.
The Casper Wyoming ICC G14-N book set organizes the three exam references. Use Roofing Construction and Estimating for supplemental field math and bidding review, not as a substitute for the ICC-listed books.
This simplified sketch connects the roof covering, underlayment, deck, flashing, and drainage system. It is an examination study diagram, not a construction detail for permitting.
A roofing exam question may combine roof covering provisions with a drainage or reroofing detail. Practice identifying the exact condition first.
Decide whether the project lies in Casper, Cheyenne, or another Wyoming municipality. Licensing is local.
Confirm the approved business scope and any supervisor, experience, or insurance requirements.
Ask the city whether ICC G14-N is accepted and whether preapproval or particular test documentation is required.
Study the 2018 IBC, IRC and IPC listed for the ICC G14 roofing exam.
Organize work around the four published ICC categories and weekly code lookup drills.
Check the latest ICC bulletin, appointment rules, identification and permitted references.
Submit business details, experience proof, scores and coverage documents required locally.
Confirm final approval, permits and any added jurisdiction requirements before contracting.
The June 2026 ICC G14 outline displays the following four category percentages. They total 103%, not 100%, so there appears to be a source inconsistency. These bars reproduce the printed percentages without turning them into exact question counts.
Use the current ICC examination bulletin to verify any later corrections. Roofing materials carry the largest displayed share, followed by code administration and the combined fastener/flashing/drainage group.
The ICC G14 bulletin specifies three exam references. The Casper roofing book package sells the corresponding titles. Other useful roofing manuals are study aids, not automatically approved books.
| Reference | Edition or Product | How It Helps |
|---|---|---|
| International Building Code | 2018 | Primary G14-N exam reference for broader building and roofing code requirements. |
| International Residential Code | 2018 | Primary G14-N reference for roofing on one- and two-family dwellings. |
| International Plumbing Code | 2018 | Primary G14-N reference for storm and roof drainage topics. |
| Casper Wyoming G14-N Book Package | Three-code-book set | Store package containing the 2018 IBC, IRC and IPC. View package |
| Roofing Construction and Estimating | Dan Atcheson | Supplemental practical estimating and installation book; not listed as a G14-N exam-room reference. |
| NRCA Steep-Slope Roofing Manual | 2025 | Supplemental training on roof systems, materials and construction details; not listed in G14-N bulletin. |
| Casper Roofing Books and Course Rental | Store bundle listing | Compare stated inclusions carefully and confirm any differences with the retailer. |
Match book editions exactly to the approved exam listing and check ICC rules for book condition, labels, tabs and notes before bringing any volume to the testing center.
Open-book success is an exercise in organized searching. Read the question carefully, recognize the building or roofing condition, choose the most relevant code, then find the supporting provision. Practice under a clock rather than waiting until exam day to see if your tabs are useful.
Aim to reduce unnecessary book flipping and make an exam-day list of permitted items. Good navigation is faster than carrying a pile of books you cannot use.
In Casper, the published Roofing Contractor classification authorizes installing, repairing, and constructing roofs and associated roofing materials, subject to the city rules. Typical roofing activities include roof coverings, underlayment, repairs, flashing, reroofing and accessory details necessary for an approved roofing project.
That description is not permission to perform every structural, electrical, plumbing or mechanical task on a building. Extensive structural roof framing changes, drainage-system plumbing, or other specialty work may fall under additional trade permits, inspections, or license categories. Confirm any uncertain scope with the local building official.
Cheyenne applies its own contractor classifications and qualified-supervisor requirements. Other Wyoming cities or counties may use different permit and registration systems. Roofing jobs should be checked by location, building type, and project scope before a contract is signed.
A responsible business also keeps estimates, material specifications, customer approvals, warranties, insurance, worker safety plans, inspection records, and completed-project documentation in good order.
Similar exam names and nearby license classes do not always authorize the same work. The city where the roof is located decides the appropriate classification.
| Classification | Typical Focus | Important Difference |
|---|---|---|
| Casper Roofing Contractor | Local roof installation, repair and roofing-related work | Casper issues the permission, using its own classification and application review. |
| Cheyenne General Roofing Subcontractor | General roofing work under relevant city class | City licensing board determines class, supervisor and accepted exam. |
| ICC G14-N Roofing Contractor | National roofing knowledge exam | Exam is not a Wyoming contractor license. |
| ICC G15-N Shingle Roofing | Shingle-focused ICC exam | Different outline and reference set; not interchangeable without local approval. |
| General Building Contractor | Broader construction categories | May require a different local license and examination. |
| Plumbing Contractor | Regulated plumbing and drainage-system work | Separate licensing rules may apply to work beyond roofing scope. |
| Roofing Estimating Reference | Material quantities, waste, labor and budgeting | Helpful business skill, not a substitute for accepted exam codes. |
Main local business classification
Best for: Applicants pursuing Casper roofing authorization.
Different municipal classification
Best for: Roofing businesses performing qualifying work in Cheyenne.
Code study package
Best for: Candidates studying for accepted ICC G14-N testing.
Daily progress beats an exhausted weekend spent looking up the same code chapter repeatedly. Study consistently, practice using the books, and check that your licensing paperwork is moving forward.
The ICC G14 roofing exam can be challenging because the work spans several code books. A question about a roof assembly may send you to the 2018 IBC; a shingle or dwelling condition may point to the 2018 IRC; a roof drain detail may involve the 2018 IPC. Knowing which reference applies is half the battle.
The June 2026 ICC bulletin lists 60 questions and three hours, which averages three minutes per question. That leaves little room for aimless searching. A candidate who knows the roofing process but not the book organization may struggle with testing speed. Conversely, someone who can navigate the books but misunderstands roof conditions may apply the wrong requirement.
Practice the four published content areas, especially roofing materials, general requirements, and fasteners/flashings/drainage. Review reroofing separately so existing-roof conditions do not become an afterthought. Keep practical estimating and safety skills sharp, but recognize those are not extra official G14 content categories.
Use your timed scores to decide whether you are ready. After each question, find the code language and explain why it applies. Do not confuse memorizing an answer with understanding how to choose one on an unfamiliar roof.
Check the appointment confirmation and most recent ICC bulletin right before the test. Permitted items and check-in rules can change, so older study websites should not override the test provider.
These products are sold or listed by ContractorExamPreps.com. Compare the actual package inclusions, availability and book editions with the current ICC bulletin before ordering.
Primary 2018 code-reference set
Best for: Candidates who need the three listed G14-N code references.
Store rental and course package
Best for: Candidates comparing combined study formats; check product description carefully.
Supplemental professional reference
Best for: Roofers wanting estimating and field-practice support.
Another optional reference is the NRCA Roofing Manual: Steep-Slope Roof Systems, 2025. It covers detailed roofing methods, but it is not one of the three ICC G14-N exam-room code titles.

This roofing-related video from the verified 1ExamPrep YouTube channel previews Carpentry and Building Construction concepts for roofers. It discusses roof framing, sheathing, deck materials and related construction methods. It is a supplemental roofing study video, not an official ICC G14-N course or Casper licensing presentation.
Watch the 1ExamPrep Roofing Book Overview on YouTube
After watching, compare roof deck and structure topics with the applicable 2018 IBC or IRC requirements. A general roof-framing overview adds understanding, but the G14-N reference list and exam outline still control your test preparation.
Use official local and ICC resources to confirm licensing rules and exam materials. Use the store links to compare roofing exam books and related courses.
The current ICC bulletin and the licensing jurisdiction take priority when a third-party product description or older preparation page lists different exam details.
Wyoming Roofing Contractor exam preparation is easiest when you separate two jobs that are connected but not identical. First, find the local licensing rules where you plan to work. Second, confirm the accepted roofing examination and prepare for it using the correct references. Wyoming does not provide one general statewide roofing contractor license that automatically covers every city. Casper, Cheyenne and other municipalities may use different classifications, applications, proof of experience, insurance requirements and testing rules. The first smart move is to contact the authority that controls your actual project location.
For candidates targeting Casper's roofing license pathway, the ICC G14-N General Roofing Contractor exam is a relevant technical preparation focus. The June 2026 ICC bulletin identifies 60 multiple-choice questions, a three-hour limit and an open-book format. It lists the 2018 International Building Code, 2018 International Residential Code and 2018 International Plumbing Code as examination references. Those three titles address different kinds of roofing questions, including building conditions, dwelling roof systems and roof drainage. Learn what each book covers and practice finding relevant rules rather than merely owning the volumes.
The outline focuses on administration and general requirements, types of roofing materials and applications, fasteners and flashings with drainage and scuppers, and reroofing. Roofing materials hold the largest printed percentage. The bulletin's topic percentages are displayed as 28, 35, 28 and 12, a total of 103 percent. Because those figures are inconsistent, this guide reproduces the information as printed instead of converting it to an invented question allocation. Use the major groups as study priorities, and watch for official revisions before a testing appointment.
Build a realistic study schedule. Begin with city requirements and book organization. Move to code administration, then cover roof assemblies, shingles, membranes and low-slope construction. Spend time on flashing, gutters, scuppers, drainage and the plumbing code. Make reroofing its own study category because removing or adding an existing roof layer can raise different questions from a new installation. Finish with timed mock exams. A steady routine and careful review of mistakes are more useful than rereading entire manuals without checking whether you can locate the answer.
ContractorExamPreps.com lists a Casper Wyoming G14-N exam book package containing the three 2018 code references. The store also offers Roofing Construction and Estimating, a useful supplemental guide, and a current NRCA steep-slope manual. Those extra publications can help with estimating and field methods, but they are not automatically permitted in the G14 testing room. Read the ICC material rules and the current product inclusions before ordering or carrying references into the exam.
After passing, return to your local licensing checklist. Provide required business details, experience records, insurance documents and other application materials. Confirm municipal approval before work requiring a license begins. Check permits and inspections for each project, especially when jobs cross town boundaries. The aim is not only to pass an examination. It is to operate a safer, better-organized roofing business with accurate code knowledge, dependable work practices and fewer avoidable surprises. A roof should protect the customer from bad weather, not introduce a new storm of paperwork.
Wyoming Roofing Contractor Exam Prep helps roofing professionals understand the examination and local licensing steps that may apply to their work. Wyoming does not have one general state roofing license that covers every town. The city or county where the roof is located may have its own rules. Casper has a local roofing contractor classification. Cheyenne follows a separate contractor licensing system. Contractors should check the correct office before bidding work or starting a project.
Casper's published roofing classification concerns installing, repairing and constructing roofs and related roofing materials. Its classification information identifies at least one year of roofing trade experience as a criterion. The city reviews applications and may require test proof, experience documents, insurance and local fees. A city-approved license is different from a test score. Passing an exam is helpful, but it does not automatically authorize a roofing business to work in Casper or another Wyoming community.
One examination used for Casper roofing preparation is the ICC G14-N Roofing Contractor exam. The International Code Council's June 2026 bulletin lists 60 multiple-choice questions and a three-hour time limit. The exam is open book, but candidates must follow the current rules for approved references and markings. Time still matters. With three hours for 60 questions, the average is three minutes per question. Students should practice locating answers rather than relying on a book they have never opened.
The listed references are the 2018 International Building Code, the 2018 International Residential Code and the 2018 International Plumbing Code. The building code helps with general and commercial roofing requirements. The residential code helps with one- and two-family dwelling roofing details. The plumbing code helps with roof drainage and storm drainage questions. The Casper Wyoming G14-N roofing book package sold by Contractor Exam Preps includes these three books. Always check the current exam reference list before a purchase or test appointment.
The G14 exam covers four broad areas. These include administration and general requirements, roofing materials and applications, fasteners and flashings with drainage and scuppers, and reroofing. The bulletin displays category percentages of 28, 35, 28 and 12. Those percentages add to 103, so there appears to be a problem with the printed total. The chart in this article shows the published numbers with that warning. It does not claim an exact number of questions for each subject.
Begin studying by understanding roofing materials, roof assemblies, roof slopes, underlayment, flashing, fasteners, roof drainage and roof replacement rules. Practice the differences between residential and commercial code questions. Learn how to choose the correct reference book for a question. After every practice quiz, find the rule that supports the answer. Take timed practice sessions and record why questions were missed. This approach can help you use an open-book exam more effectively.
Contractor Exam Preps also sells Roofing Construction and Estimating and an NRCA steep-slope manual. These are supplemental study aids unless ICC authorizes them for the exam.

Accurate reference books, regular practice and a local licensing checklist help keep the process organized.
