Build your path toward becoming a Mississippi residential roofing contractor with one organized, all-inclusive solution. The 1 Package combines exam preparation, professionally prepared reference books, contractor license application support, and essential business formation services in a single package designed for serious roofing professionals.
Instead of purchasing books, training, application assistance, and business setup services separately, this package brings the major pieces together. You receive the approved references used for the Mississippi Residential Roofer trade examination, the Mississippi business and law reference, structured course access, Application Service, and assistance establishing a properly organized roofing business.
The included books are professionally highlighted and permanently tabbed to make important sections easier to locate while studying and during an approved open-book examination. The highlighting directs your attention toward key concepts, while the permanent tabs help you move between code chapters, safety standards, roofing practices, estimating information, and business requirements more efficiently.
This package is built for candidates preparing for the Residential Roofer classification administered through the Mississippi State Board of Contractors. The classification covers the installation, repair, and improvement of residential rooftop structures, including roof coverings and roof drainage. Work performed under this classification is limited to residential roofing.

The $500 book deposit is refundable when the rental books are returned in similar condition within one year. Books should be protected from excessive damage, missing pages, water exposure, unauthorized writing, removed tabs, or other conditions beyond normal use.
Please allow up to 15 business days for The 1 Package book orders.
The Mississippi Residential Roofer trade examination is administered by PSI Services LLC after the applicant has been approved as eligible by the Mississippi State Board of Contractors. Candidates should complete the appropriate licensing application process with the Board before scheduling the examination.
The Residential Roofer examination contains 60 questions. Candidates are allowed 2 hours to complete the examination, and a score of 70 percent is required to pass.
The official examination outline divides the questions into five primary knowledge areas:
The stated scope of the examination applies to residential one- and two-family structures not exceeding three stories. The examination may include questions developed from the listed references as well as questions based on trade knowledge and general industry practices.
Mississippi applicants may also be required to pass the Mississippi Law and Business Management examination. The Mississippi State Board of Contractors determines the examinations required for each applicant and classification. The included NASCLA Mississippi contractor guide supports preparation for the business and law portion of the licensing process.
The Mississippi Residential Roofer examination is an open-book test. Candidates are responsible for bringing their permitted references to the examination center. The books may be highlighted, underlined, and indexed before the examination, making properly prepared materials an important part of the study process.
References may be indexed with permanent tabs. Temporary tabs, including removable notes such as Post-it products, are not permitted. Loose papers and unauthorized attached materials may not be added to the approved books. Candidates may not write in the references during the examination.
The included trade references are professionally highlighted and permanently tabbed before delivery. This preparation can help candidates become familiar with the location of essential roofing information and reduce the time spent searching through large books. Highlighting and tabs do not replace studying, but they provide a more organized system for finding code sections, tables, installation requirements, safety rules, and technical information.
Candidates should practice using the books before test day. A successful open-book strategy requires knowing which reference covers each subject, understanding the organization of the books, and locating information under time pressure. Simply bringing the references into the examination does not eliminate the need for preparation.
Mississippi residential contractors and residential roofers are regulated by the Mississippi State Board of Contractors. Applicants must use the Board’s residential application process and receive authorization before taking the examinations assigned to them.
The Board determines which tests are required for each applicant. Candidates should register only for the examinations for which they have received approval. New applicants generally receive a six-month eligibility period in which to complete their examinations. Candidates who do not satisfy the examination requirement within the eligibility period may be required to reapply with the Board.
A company seeking licensure must designate a qualifying individual to complete the required examinations. The license is connected to the qualifying individual’s continued association with the licensed company. Changes involving the qualifier must be reported and handled according to the Board’s requirements.
Reciprocity may allow an eligible applicant with an accepted out-of-state license to request a waiver of a corresponding trade examination. Reciprocity applies only when the applicable Board agreement and eligibility conditions are satisfied. Mississippi’s Law and Business Management examination remains required for applicants using an examination-waiver agreement.
Applicants must complete all documentation, fees, examinations, and other requirements assigned by the Board. Purchasing The 1 Package, completing a course, or passing an examination does not by itself issue a contractor license. Final licensing authority remains with the Mississippi State Board of Contractors.
All included books are highlighted and permanently tabbed. Because the books are provided as rentals under this package, they must be returned in similar condition within one year for the $500 deposit to be refunded.
The following highlighted and permanently tabbed references are included for use with the Mississippi Residential Roofer trade examination:
The NASCLA Contractor’s Guide to Business, Law and Project Management, Mississippi, 6th Edition is included for the Mississippi business and law examination.
Only materials authorized for the specific examination may be taken into the testing room. Candidates should bring the correct reference set for each scheduled exam and follow all current PSI rules concerning tabs, highlighting, notes, bindings, loose papers, calculators, and personal items.
Effective preparation should combine technical study with repeated reference-book navigation. Begin by learning the five Residential Roofer content areas and assigning each topic to the reference most likely to contain the answer.
Use the International Residential Code and International Building Code to become comfortable locating roofing provisions, tables, definitions, structural requirements, roof-covering rules, and weather-protection requirements. Use Roofing Construction and Estimating to strengthen practical knowledge involving measurements, material quantities, procedures, and estimating. Use the NRCA manual to study steep-slope assemblies, installation details, and recognized roofing practices. Use 29 CFR Part 1926 to review the safety standards that apply to construction and roofing operations.
Practice questions should be completed under timed conditions. With 60 questions in two hours, candidates have an average of approximately two minutes per question. Some answers may be known immediately, while others require locating a code section or technical detail. A practical strategy is to answer familiar questions first, mark questions that require research, and return to them after completing the initial pass.
The business and law portion should receive dedicated preparation rather than being treated as an extension of the roofing examination. Study the Mississippi NASCLA guide by subject area and become familiar with its table of contents, index, definitions, forms, and business-management chapters.
The included one-year course access provides time to build a consistent study schedule rather than relying on last-minute review. Candidates can work through the material in manageable sessions, revisit difficult subjects, and continue practicing book navigation as the examination date approaches.
Contractor Exam Prep brings the exam, application, and business-setup components into one coordinated package. The goal is to help contractors move through preparation with a clearer structure and fewer disconnected tasks.
Your included references arrive professionally highlighted and permanently tabbed, reducing the setup work normally required before beginning serious open-book preparation. The course organizes trade-focused review around the subjects candidates are expected to understand, including roofing materials, roof-covering installation, drainage, rooftop structures, safety, code navigation, estimating, and business law.
Practice-oriented preparation helps you become more comfortable applying information rather than simply reading it. You can work on locating answers, interpreting requirements, managing the examination clock, and recognizing which reference applies to a particular question.
The included Application Service supports the licensing paperwork process, while business formation, EIN filing, and contractor compliance guidance help connect exam preparation to the practical steps involved in establishing a roofing company. This combination is designed for candidates who want more than a set of books and prefer a structured route from preparation toward licensing and business operation.
No course can replace consistent study or guarantee a particular examination or licensing result. The value of The 1 Package is its organized preparation system, ready-to-use references, application support, and business services assembled around the needs of a Mississippi residential roofing contractor.
The package cost is $2,045 and includes the highlighted and tabbed rental books, one year of course access, Application Service, business formation assistance, EIN filing, and contractor compliance guidance. A refundable $500 book deposit brings the total due to $2,545.
The $500 deposit is refundable when the rental books are returned in similar condition within one year. The books should include their original pages, bindings, highlighting, and tabs and should not contain excessive damage or unauthorized writing.
