This package brings together the residential code, building code, roofing construction, estimating, steep-slope roofing, and OSHA safety materials candidates need for organized exam preparation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mississippi Residential Roofer Contractor Exam Book Package is a practical choice for candidates who want the complete trade reference set in one order. Instead of locating each title separately, you receive five books that support the major subjects covered by the Mississippi Residential Roofer examination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe reference package supports study of roofing materials, installation of roof coverings, roof drainage, rooftop structures, code requirements, construction safety, estimating principles, and recognized steep-slope roofing practices. These areas reflect the technical knowledge residential roofing contractors use when planning, installing, repairing, and evaluating roofing systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mississippi Residential Roofer classification covers the installation, repair, or improvement of residential rooftop structures, including roof coverings and roof drainage. The holder of this classification is limited to residential roofing work. Candidates should confirm that this classification matches the type of work they plan to perform before beginning the application and examination process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis listing is for the book package only. Course access, application service, business formation, book highlighting, permanent tabs, and rental services are not included unless they are listed separately with the order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #d32f2f;\"\u003eExam Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mississippi Residential Roofer trade examination is administered by PSI for the Mississippi State Board of Contractors.

The Board reviews the application, determines the examinations the candidate must complete, and sends testing eligibility to PSI.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCandidates cannot schedule the examination until PSI receives their eligibility information and sends a confirmation notice. Applicants should register only for the examinations authorized by the Mississippi State Board of Contractors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Residential Roofer examination applies to residential one- and two-family structures not exceeding three stories.

Candidates should understand roofing concepts in addition to learning how to locate information in the references.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAll Mississippi residential contractor applicants are also required to complete the Mississippi Law and Business Management examination. This package contains the Residential Roofer trade exam books only.

Candidates are responsible for bringing the authorized reference materials to the examination center. The books allowed into the exam room are identified in the current PSI Candidate Information Bulletin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOpen-book testing still requires thorough preparation. Candidates have a limited amount of time to complete the examination, and searching through every book for every answer can make it difficult to finish. A productive study plan should combine technical understanding with repeated practice using the table of contents, indexes, chapter headings, definitions, and code tables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eReference materials may be highlighted, underlined, or indexed before the examination. Books may be organized with permanent tabs. Temporary tabs, removable notes, Post-it products, loose sheets, and unauthorized attached papers are not permitted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCandidates may not write in their references during the examination. Books may be inspected before admission to the testing room, and materials that do not meet the examination rules may be removed or rejected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause this package includes several detailed technical references, candidates should become familiar with the purpose of each book. The residential and building codes address construction requirements, while the roofing and estimating book supports practical trade knowledge. The NRCA manual focuses on steep-slope roofing systems, and 29 CFR Part 1926 addresses construction safety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLearning which reference applies to each subject can reduce unnecessary searching.

The Board identifies Residential Roofer as a tested residential classification involving the installation, repair, or improvement of residential rooftop structures, roof coverings, and roof drainage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe classification is limited to residential roofing work. It should not be represented as authorization to perform unrelated contractor classifications or work beyond the scope established by the Board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eApplicants must submit a completed residential application before taking the examinations. The application process includes business information, classification selection, qualifying-party information, experience documentation, insurance documentation, reference letters, and other supporting materials required by the Board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA corporation, limited liability company, or limited liability partnership must be registered with the Mississippi Secretary of State and provide evidence of good standing. The legal name used on the contractor application should match the name registered with the state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe applicant must provide current general liability insurance documentation. Workers’ compensation coverage documentation is required when the applicant has five or more employees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe residential application also requires three reference letters. One must come from a bank, while the remaining two may come from people or businesses familiar with the applicant’s construction-related work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eApplicants must demonstrate experience in the requested classification. The application asks for at least three completed jobs involving the type of work associated with the classification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach applicant must identify a qualifying party for the required examinations. The qualifying party may be an owner, officer, member of the executive staff, or responsible managing employee. Proof of employment may include a check stub, W-2 form, or a state business record showing the individual as an owner or officer. Proof of employment is not required for a sole proprietor applying in an individual name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAll residential applicants are required to take the Mississippi Law and Business Management examination. A trade examination is also required for the Residential Roofer classification unless the Board approves a trade-exam waiver through an applicable reciprocity agreement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eReciprocity applies only to a possible waiver of the trade examination. It does not waive the Mississippi business and law examination, application review, fees, insurance, experience, documentation, or other licensing requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNew applicants generally have six months from the date of examination eligibility to pass the assigned exams.

Installation of roof coverings and materials make up the largest portions of the examination, but roof drainage, rooftop structures, and safety should not be overlooked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUse the International Residential Code to study residential roof assemblies, roof-covering requirements, flashing, underlayment, weather exposure, roof drainage, structural conditions, and related definitions.

Compare related sections in the residential and building codes so you can recognize which source applies to a particular question.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUse Roofing Construction and Estimating to build practical understanding of roof measurements, material calculations, terminology, installation procedures, and estimating methods. Work through calculations carefully and learn the process rather than memorizing isolated examples.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUse the NRCA Roofing Manual to study steep-slope roof systems in greater technical detail.
