Prepare for the North Carolina Roofing Contractor examination with a complete rental package that combines highlighted and tabbed reference books with a trade-focused online exam prep course. This package supports structured study across steep-slope roofing, membrane systems, metal panels, spray polyurethane foam roofing, roof substrates, repairs, flashing, safety, building-code requirements, business law, licensing, liens, and project management.
The North Carolina Roofing specialty classification covers the installation and repair of roofs and decks on residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional structures when the installed materials create a watertight and weather-resistant surface. The classification includes a wide range of roofing materials and related components, making broad preparation important for candidates pursuing this credential.
This rental package includes seven exam-room-approved references. The library contains the North Carolina Occupational Safety and Health Standards for the Construction Industry with the latest available amendments, the 2018 North Carolina Building Code, the Contractor’s Guide to Business, Law and Project Management—North Carolina General Contractors Edition, 10th Edition, the 2018 North Carolina Administrative Code and Policies, and three NRCA Roofing Manuals covering steep-slope, metal panel, spray polyurethane foam, and membrane roofing systems.
The package also includes two closed-book study references that are not permitted in the examination room: Roofing Construction and Estimating by Daniel Atcheson and Laws and Regulations Applicable to General Contracting in the State of North Carolina. These publications support preparation involving roofing calculations, estimating, installation practices, contractor licensing, liens, and professional responsibilities.
All included trade reference books are highlighted and tabbed to help organize study and improve navigation. Tabs identify major topics and frequently used sections, while highlighting draws attention to important requirements, terminology, tables, details, and procedures. Candidates should still review complete sections and become familiar with each publication rather than relying only on the marked material.
The package includes the North Carolina Roofing Contractor trade online exam prep course and 6 months of course access. The course helps candidates organize the examination content, review major roofing systems, strengthen open-book navigation, and practice applying technical information to contractor exam questions.
The book rental period is 6 months from the time the materials are received. The package price is $1,590, plus a $700 refundable rental-book deposit, for a total initial payment of $2,290. The $700 deposit is refunded when all books are returned in similar condition within the six-month rental period. Please allow 15 business days for the books to be highlighted, tabbed, and processed.
The North Carolina Roofing Contractor examination contains 60 questions. Candidates must earn a score of 70 percent to pass, and the examination allows 120 minutes for completion.
The examination outline includes safety, roofing substrates, steep-slope roofing, roof repairs, elastomeric roofing, built-up bituminous roofing, business and law, sheet metal and flashing, licensing, liens, and general building-code requirements.
Steep-slope roofing is the largest examination category. Candidates should study asphalt shingles, wood shakes and shingles, slate, clay and concrete tile, underlayment, roof deck requirements, fastening, flashing, valleys, ridges, hips, penetrations, ventilation, ice protection, material storage, and weather-related installation considerations.
Roof-substrate preparation may involve roof decks, sheathing, insulation, cover boards, vapor retarders, existing roof conditions, moisture, drainage, slope, attachment, compatibility, and preparation before installation of the finished roofing system.
Membrane-roofing preparation should include single-ply systems, built-up roofing, modified bitumen, attachment methods, insulation, surfacing, seams, flashing, penetrations, expansion joints, drainage, repairs, and maintenance. Candidates should understand the distinctions among mechanically attached, adhered, ballasted, and other roof-system configurations.
Metal-panel preparation may involve standing-seam and through-fastened systems, substrates, clips, fasteners, panel layout, laps, sealants, thermal movement, flashing, penetrations, transitions, trim, underlayment, condensation control, and safe material handling.
Spray polyurethane foam roofing preparation may include substrate conditions, foam application, thickness, coatings, weather limitations, surface preparation, drainage, flashing, repairs, maintenance, and protection of adjacent surfaces.
Roof-repair questions may address leak investigation, moisture damage, flashing failures, membrane defects, punctures, open seams, deteriorated materials, substrate conditions, drainage problems, and selection of compatible repair methods.
Sheet-metal and flashing preparation may include valleys, counterflashing, base flashing, copings, edge metal, gravel stops, gutters, downspouts, scuppers, roof penetrations, wall transitions, expansion joints, and methods used to direct water away from vulnerable areas.
Safety preparation should address fall protection, ladders, scaffolds, personal protective equipment, material handling, hoisting, electrical hazards, hot work, fire prevention, silica exposure, roof openings, warning lines, controlled-access practices, and employer responsibilities.
Business and law preparation may involve contracts, estimating, financial management, project scheduling, employment responsibilities, insurance, safety programs, risk management, and contractor business operations. Candidates should also review North Carolina licensing and lien requirements.
The North Carolina Roofing Contractor examination is an open-book test. Candidates may use only the references identified as permitted for the examination and must bring their own approved materials to the testing center.
The North Carolina Occupational Safety and Health Standards for the Construction Industry supports questions involving fall protection, ladders, scaffolds, personal protective equipment, electrical hazards, material handling, fire protection, and roofing-related workplace safety.
The 2018 North Carolina Building Code supports questions involving roof assemblies, materials, fire classifications, structural requirements, drainage, insulation, weather protection, reroofing, and general building-code provisions.
The Contractor’s Guide to Business, Law and Project Management—North Carolina General Contractors Edition, 10th Edition supports examination topics involving contracts, estimating, financial controls, project management, employment practices, insurance, safety administration, and risk management.
The 2018 North Carolina Administrative Code and Policies supports questions involving permits, inspections, construction documents, approvals, enforcement, code administration, and the authority and responsibilities of contractors and code officials.
The NRCA Roofing Manual: Steep Slope Roof Systems supports technical preparation for asphalt shingles, wood roofing, tile, slate, roof decks, underlayments, flashing, ventilation, and steep-slope installation details.
The NRCA Roofing Manual: Metal Panel and SPF Roof Systems supports questions involving metal roofing, panel attachment, seams, clips, fasteners, thermal movement, spray polyurethane foam, protective coatings, flashing, repairs, and installation practices.

Roofing Construction and Estimating and Laws and Regulations Applicable to General Contracting in the State of North Carolina are included for study but are not allowed in the examination room. Candidates should review these books throughout the rental period so they can apply the information without relying on the publications during the test.
Approved references may be highlighted, underlined, and indexed before the examination. Permanent tabs are allowed, but removable tabs are not permitted. Notes may not be written on tabs, and references may not contain written notes or added loose materials.
Code references downloaded and printed for exam use must be complete, properly bound, and permitted under the current testing rules. Partial references are not accepted.
The North Carolina Licensing Board for General Contractors regulates the Roofing specialty classification. Applicants must be at least 18 years old, possess good moral character as determined by the Board, provide evidence of financial responsibility, submit the applicable application fee, and consent to a criminal background check when required.
A North Carolina general contractor license is required when a person or business bids on, contracts for, or undertakes a construction project valued at $40,000 or more, subject to applicable statutory definitions and exceptions.
The Roofing specialty classification covers the installation and repair of roofs and decks on residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional structures when the roofing materials create a watertight and weather-resistant surface.
The scope includes cedar, cement, clay tile, composition shingles, metal coverings, wood shakes, single-ply roofing, built-up roofing, protective and reflective roof and deck coatings, sheet-metal valleys, flashings, gravel stops, gutters, downspouts, and bituminous waterproofing.
North Carolina general contractor licenses are issued with limited, intermediate, or unlimited limitations. A limited license allows qualifying individual projects up to $750,000. An intermediate license allows qualifying individual projects up to $1,500,000. An unlimited license has no restriction on the value of an individual project.
Each limitation carries financial qualification requirements. Applicants should select the limitation that fits their intended work and provide the required financial documentation or approved alternative security.
The qualifier’s examination credential and the contractor license are separate. Passing the Roofing examination does not independently authorize an individual or business to bid or contract. The license must be issued to the legal entity conducting the contracting activity.
Licensed roofing contractors must operate within the classification and limitation shown on the active license. They are also responsible for permits, inspections, contracts, jobsite safety, employee supervision, code compliance, and maintaining accurate entity and qualifier information.
Build a study schedule around steep-slope roofing, substrates, membrane systems, metal panels, spray polyurethane foam, repairs, flashing, safety, code requirements, business law, licensing, and liens.
Use the seven exam-room references during timed lookup exercises. Read the question, identify the roofing system or business subject, choose the correct publication, locate the applicable section, and review the full requirement before selecting an answer.
Give additional study time to steep-slope roofing because it represents the largest portion of the examination outline. Review deck preparation, underlayment, fastening, flashing, valleys, penetrations, ventilation, and material-specific installation practices.
Study the restricted books separately. Use Roofing Construction and Estimating to reinforce calculations, material quantities, roof geometry, and installation concepts. Use the laws and regulations book to review licensing, liens, and contractor responsibilities.
Practice calculations involving roof area, slope, waste, material coverage, labor, and estimating. Always identify the units and assumptions required by the question before calculating an answer.
Use the full six-month rental and course-access period to rotate among course lessons, technical reading, practice questions, calculations, and open-book navigation exercises.
