Exam Details

The Mississippi Roofing, Sheet Metal and Siding examination is administered by PSI after the Mississippi State Board of Contractors establishes the candidate’s eligibility. Applicants must complete the appropriate contractor licensing application before scheduling the examination.

The trade examination contains 60 questions. Candidates receive 2 hours to complete the test and must earn a score of at least 70 percent to pass.

The examination content outline includes the following subject areas:

  • Safety: 6 questions addressing OSHA construction requirements, fall protection, equipment use, personal protective equipment, and common jobsite hazards.
  • Roofing Substrate: 8 questions involving roof decks, substrates, preparation, attachment, and conditions affecting roofing installation.
  • Steep-Slope Roofing: 17 questions covering steep-slope roofing systems, materials, underlayments, flashing, installation, and related practices.
  • Roofing Repairs: 4 questions involving inspection, maintenance, repair procedures, leak correction, and restoration considerations.
  • Elastomeric Roofing: 7 questions addressing membrane materials, installation practices, system components, and related roofing applications.
  • Built-Up Bituminous Roofing: 7 questions covering built-up roofing systems, materials, application methods, surfacing, and repair considerations.
  • Siding General Knowledge: 8 questions involving siding materials, installation, soffits, preparation, fastening, and accepted practices.
  • Sheet Metal and Flashing: 3 questions addressing sheet metal components, fabrication concepts, flashing, drainage, and weather protection.

The examination may include questions based on the listed references, trade knowledge, and general industry practices. Candidates should understand the technical material while also learning which reference applies to each subject.

The Mississippi State Board of Contractors determines the examinations required for each applicant. The Mississippi Law and Business Management examination is part of the licensing process for contractor applicants. The included NASCLA Mississippi guide supports preparation for the business and law portion.

Open Book Test

The Mississippi Roofing, Sheet Metal and Siding examination is an open-book test. Candidates are responsible for bringing the authorized reference materials into the examination center and following PSI’s current rules for book preparation and use.

Approved references may be highlighted, underlined, and indexed before the examination. Permanent tabs are allowed. Temporary tabs, removable notes, loose papers, and unauthorized attached materials are not permitted. Candidates may not write in the books during the examination.

The books included with The 1 Package arrive professionally highlighted and permanently tabbed. This preparation can help candidates locate sections dealing with steep-slope roofs, metal panels, spray polyurethane foam systems, membrane roofing, siding, soffits, OSHA safety, estimating, carpentry, flashing, and building-code requirements.

Open-book testing still requires a structured study plan. With 60 questions and two hours, candidates have an average of approximately two minutes per question. Searching randomly through nine books can quickly consume testing time. Candidates should practice identifying the correct reference before attempting to locate an answer.

Use the indexes, tables of contents, chapter headings, definitions, code sections, and permanent tabs together. Familiarity with the references can help candidates approach questions more efficiently and avoid unnecessary page turning.

Licensing Steps

  2. Choose the appropriate application. Complete the commercial or residential contractor application required for the business and project scope.
  3. Designate the qualifying individual. Identify the person who will take the required examinations on behalf of the company.
  4. Gather the required documentation. Prepare the business, ownership, experience, insurance, qualifying-party, and supporting documents requested by the Mississippi State Board of Contractors.
  5. Submit the application. Send the completed application, applicable fees, and supporting documents to the Board for review.
  6. Receive examination eligibility. The Board determines which examinations are required and sends the candidate’s eligibility to PSI.
  7. Schedule the examinations. Follow PSI’s registration instructions after receiving confirmation of eligibility.
  8. Prepare with the course and references. Use the one-year course access, highlighted books, permanent tabs, and practice-oriented study structure to review the assigned subjects.

  12. Obtain the EIN. Use the included EIN filing service to obtain the business’s federal tax identification number.

State Requirements

The Mississippi State Board of Contractors regulates commercial and residential contractors, including contractors performing roofing, sheet metal, and siding work. Applicants must hold the appropriate license when the work falls within Mississippi’s contractor licensing requirements.

The Roofing, Sheet Metal and Siding classification is a tested specialty classification. It includes roofing installation, maintenance, repair, alteration, waterproofing, protective coatings, leak correction, roof-deck attachments, and related roof sheathing or fascia work needed during roof repair or replacement.

The sheet metal portion includes fabrication, erection, installation, alteration, or repair of components such as cornices, flashing, gutters, leaders, downspouts, and pans. The siding portion includes fabrication and installation involving aluminum, vinyl, and other siding materials, along with fascia, soffit, and gutter work within the classification scope.

Applicants must submit the appropriate application before taking the examinations. The Board determines which tests the qualifying individual must complete. PSI cannot establish an applicant’s classification or independently determine which exam should be taken.

New applicants generally receive six months from the date of eligibility to complete the required examinations. Candidates may retest during the eligibility period. Applicants who do not pass within that period may be required to reapply with the Board.

The qualifying individual must maintain the required relationship with the licensed company. If the qualifier leaves the company, the contractor must notify the Board and designate a replacement in accordance with current requirements.

Purchasing The 1 Package, completing the course, or passing an examination does not independently issue a contractor license. Final approval remains with the Mississippi State Board of Contractors.

Use the International Building Code to locate requirements involving roof assemblies, exterior walls, fire classification, structural conditions, and weather protection.

Complete practice questions under timed conditions and learn to identify the most likely reference before searching. Review missed questions to determine whether the problem involved technical knowledge, interpretation, reference selection, or time management.

How Contractor Exam Prep Helps You Reach Your Goal

Contractor Exam Prep supports candidates through organized study guidance, trade-focused review, practice-oriented preparation, and reference-navigation training. The package brings the exam materials, application support, and business setup services into one coordinated solution.

The highlighted and permanently tabbed books reduce the preparation normally required to organize a large technical reference set. Candidates can begin studying with visible navigation points for major roofing systems, safety topics, siding standards, estimating concepts, code requirements, and business-law subjects.

The one-year course structure helps divide the material into manageable areas and provides time to revisit difficult subjects. Practice-oriented preparation encourages candidates to apply information, locate answers, interpret requirements, and develop a realistic open-book testing strategy.

Application Service helps organize the licensing paperwork process. Business formation assistance, EIN filing, and contractor compliance guidance help candidates connect exam preparation with the administrative steps involved in establishing a professional contracting business.

The package does not guarantee a passing score, contractor license, state approval, or business outcome. It provides an organized combination of study resources, prepared books, application support, and business services designed around the Mississippi Roofing, Sheet Metal and Siding licensing path.
