A roofing contractors license allows a contractor to install products and repair surfaces that seal, waterproof and weatherproof structures. This work is performed to prevent water or its derivatives, compounds, or solids from penetrating such protection and gaining access to material or space beyond.

In the course of this work, the contractor examines and/or prepares surfaces and uses the following material: asphaltum, pitch, tar, felt, glass fabric, urethane foam, metal roofing systems, flax, shakes, shingles, roof tile, slate or any other roofing, waterproofing, weatherproofing or membrane material(s) or a combination thereof.

Before you can apply for your roofing contractors license, you must meet the following experience requirements:

Don’t have 4 years of roofing experience?
A college degree can be substituted for up to three years of that experience.

In order to obtain your roofing contractors license, you are required to pass the Trade examination as well as the Law & Business exam.

*Even though you can apply for a roofing contractors license when you are 18 years old, it is recommended that you be at least 23 years old due to the experience requirement.
