The 1 Package: All-Inclusive Alabama Remodeling, Alteration, and Maintenance Repair Contractor Contractor Exam, Licensing & Business Setup Solution combines exam preparation, contractor licensing support, and business setup services in one comprehensive package. It is designed for candidates pursuing the Alabama Remodeling, Alteration, and Maintenance Contractor examination who want an organized path that brings together the required study references, course access, application support, and core business formation services.
This package includes the primary trade exam reference books, NASCLA Alabama, 3rd Edition, highlighted and tabbed book preparation, 1 year of course access, Application Service, Business Formation, EIN filing with the IRS, and Contractor Compliance Guidance. The package is structured to help candidates prepare for the trade examination while also addressing important administrative and business setup steps connected with starting or organizing a contracting business.
Remodeling, alteration, maintenance, and repair work can involve several construction disciplines within the same project. A contractor may need to understand rough carpentry, finish carpentry, doors and windows, cabinetry, concrete, masonry, siding, drywall, building-code requirements, and OSHA construction safety. The Alabama examination reflects that broad scope and requires candidates to prepare across multiple trade areas rather than focusing on only one specialty.
The included references are the Code of Federal Regulations - 29 CFR Part 1926 (OSHA); Carpentry and Building Construction, 2016; Finish Carpenter's Manual by Jim Tolpin, 1993; International Building Code, 2015; Design and Control of Concrete Mixtures, 17th Edition; Modern Masonry - Brick, Block, Stone by Clois E. Kicklighter; The Complete Illustrated Guide to Furniture and Cabinet Construction, 2001; and NASCLA Alabama, 3rd Edition.
All books are highlighted and tabbed for exam preparation. This book preparation creates a more organized study experience by helping candidates locate major subjects and navigate the references more efficiently. The package also includes 1 year of course access, allowing candidates to combine structured online preparation with direct use of the highlighted and tabbed books.

The Alabama Remodeling, Alteration, and Maintenance Contractor examination is administered by PSI as part of the licensing process overseen by the Alabama Licensing Board for General Contractors.
The examination content outline includes Safety, Windows and Doors, Rough Carpentry, Finish Carpentry, Siding, Drywall, Concrete, and Masonry. Rough Carpentry and Finish Carpentry are the largest categories, with 16 questions each. Together, those two subjects account for more than half of the examination.
Concrete and Masonry each contain 7 questions, while Safety contains 6 questions. Windows and Doors and Siding each contain 3 questions, and Drywall contains 2. Candidates should prepare across the complete outline because successful performance depends on understanding both the major and smaller subject areas.
Rough Carpentry preparation should include framing, measurements, layout, floors, walls, roofs, openings, fasteners, and general building construction. Finish Carpentry should include trim, fitting, cabinetry, joinery, interior woodwork, and detailed installation practices.
Concrete and masonry topics should also receive dedicated preparation. Candidates should understand concrete materials and performance as well as brick, block, stone, mortar, and masonry construction methods. OSHA should be used consistently for safety review.
The Alabama Remodeling, Alteration, and Maintenance Contractor examination is an open book test. Candidates may use approved reference materials under PSI's applicable testing rules.
All books in The 1 Package are highlighted and tabbed for exam preparation. Permanent tabs create clear navigation points for major subjects, while highlighting helps important material stand out during study and reference review.
The examination contains 60 questions and allows 120 minutes for completion. That gives candidates an average of approximately two minutes per question. Efficient book navigation can therefore be an important part of preparation.
A strong strategy is to connect each exam topic with the reference most likely to contain the answer. OSHA supports construction safety questions. Carpentry and Building Construction supports rough carpentry, framing, doors, windows, siding, and general building methods. Finish Carpenter's Manual supports detailed finish work, trim, fitting, and cabinetry.
The International Building Code supports applicable code topics. Design and Control of Concrete Mixtures supports concrete preparation, while Modern Masonry supports brick, block, stone, mortar, and masonry methods. The Complete Illustrated Guide to Furniture and Cabinet Construction supports cabinetry, joinery, and woodworking.
Candidates should use the highlighted and tabbed books throughout their study period rather than waiting until test day. Repeated use helps build familiarity with the organization of each reference and strengthens the ability to select the correct book quickly.
The Alabama Licensing Board for General Contractors oversees contractor licensing for covered general contracting and specialty construction work. Remodeling and Alteration and Building Maintenance Repair are recognized within Alabama's Building Construction classification structure.
The 1 Package includes Application Service to support the application portion of the licensing process. It also includes NASCLA Alabama, 3rd Edition for preparation related to Alabama Business and Law requirements.
The Alabama Licensing Board for General Contractors regulates covered general contracting activity throughout the state. Alabama law applies to qualifying construction, alteration, maintenance, repair, rehabilitation, remediation, reclamation, demolition, and related work.
Alabama's general contractor licensing requirement applies to covered construction undertakings with a total project cost of $100,000 or more, including labor and materials. The current $100,000 threshold became effective October 1, 2024.
Subcontractors performing covered work at the applicable statutory threshold are also subject to Alabama contractor licensing requirements. Prime contractors and subcontractors use separate application processes.
The Alabama Licensing Board for General Contractors determines contractor classifications based on the qualifications and documented experience provided by the applicant. Candidates seeking Remodeling and Alteration or related Building Maintenance Repair authority should document work history that supports the requested scope.
Because remodeling and repair projects can involve several construction disciplines, applicants should make sure their requested classification accurately reflects the work their business intends to perform. Final classification and licensing approval are determined by the Board.
Book Preparation: All books are highlighted and tabbed for exam preparation.

The trade exam references included for Alabama Remodeling, Alteration, and Maintenance Contractor preparation are:
NASCLA Alabama, 3rd Edition is included separately for preparation related to Alabama Business and Law requirements.
The 1 Package includes 1 year of course access, giving candidates time to build a structured study plan around the major exam subjects and work directly with the included highlighted and tabbed books.
Rough Carpentry and Finish Carpentry should receive the greatest attention because they represent the largest portion of the trade exam. Study framing, layout, measurements, walls, floors, roofs, trim, fitting, cabinetry, joinery, and interior finish work.
Concrete and Masonry should also receive dedicated study time. Use Design and Control of Concrete Mixtures for concrete materials and performance, and Modern Masonry for brick, block, stone, mortar, and related construction methods.
Safety preparation should involve regular use of OSHA. Become familiar with how construction safety subjects are organized so that applicable requirements can be located efficiently during open-book study.
Windows and Doors, Siding, and Drywall should be integrated into the broader carpentry and building construction portion of preparation. These areas may contain fewer questions individually, but they still contribute toward the overall exam score.
Use the highlighted and tabbed references during course study. Identify the exam subject, choose the appropriate book, locate supporting information, and review why the answer applies. This creates a practical connection between trade knowledge and reference navigation.
Contractor Exam Prep supports Alabama Remodeling, Alteration, and Maintenance Contractor candidates through organized study guidance, construction-focused review, practice-oriented preparation, reference navigation, and confidence-building study structure.
The 1 Package is designed to bring several important parts of the contractor journey into one solution. Candidates receive the primary trade references, NASCLA Alabama, highlighted and tabbed book preparation, 1 year of course access, Application Service, Business Formation, EIN filing, and Contractor Compliance Guidance.
The exam preparation component helps candidates organize study around Rough Carpentry, Finish Carpentry, Concrete, Masonry, Safety, Windows and Doors, Siding, and Drywall. The highlighted and tabbed books support reference navigation, while the course provides a structured approach to reviewing the material.
Practice-oriented preparation can help candidates identify weaker areas and allocate study time more effectively. A contractor with strong framing experience may need more work with masonry, concrete, or OSHA, while a finish carpenter may benefit from additional rough carpentry or code review.
Application Service supports the licensing portion of the process, while Business Formation and EIN filing address foundational business setup tasks. Contractor Compliance Guidance adds support for understanding requirements associated with operating as an Alabama contractor.
The result is a package designed to support exam preparation, licensing progress, and business organization in a single offering without requiring candidates to assemble each component separately.
The package includes the seven trade exam references, NASCLA Alabama, 3rd Edition, highlighted and tabbed book preparation, 1 year of course access, Application Service, Business Formation, EIN filing, and Contractor Compliance Guidance.
