Confirm This Is the Right License for Your Work

Every state licensing board defines the exact project types, sizes, and trades that fall under each contractor classification. Review the scope below to make sure this license matches the work you actually do — then enroll in the seminar that prepares you for that exam the first time.

The Roofing classification covers the installation and repair of roofs and decks on residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional structures requiring materials that form a watertight and weather-resistant surface. For the purposes of this definition “material” includes cedar, cement, asbestos, clay tile, composition shingles, all types of metal coverings, wood shakes, single ply and built-up roofing, protective and reflective roof and deck coatings, sheet metal valleys, flashings, gravel stops, gutters and downspouts, and bituminous waterproofing among other things.

License Requirements

Pre-approval from the state is required to sit for the examination.
Please note a separate North Carolina Business and Law exam is not needed, that information is incorporated into the Roofing exam.
A license is required for projects that are $30,000 or more.
There is no minimum experience requirement.
All licenses covered by the commercial licensing board are divided into 3 financial categories:
Limited: Applicants must have a minimum working capital of $17,000. This level allows bids up to $500,000 per single project.
Intermediate: Applicants must have a minimum working capital of $75,000. This level allows bids up to $1,000,000 per single project.
Unlimited: Applicants must have a minimum working capital of $150,000. This level has no restrictions as to the value of any single project.
Applicants for the Intermediate and Unlimited license must submit audited financial statements with classified balance sheets prepared by a CPA or independent accountant engaged in the public practice of accounting.

Surety bonds are required for applicants with insufficient working capital. The board may request that a surety bond and payment bond be obtained for jobs above a certain monetary level.

Reciprocity

North Carolina has reciprocity with South Carolina for the Roofing license.

Continuing Education

As of this time, there is no continuing education for this license.

The Exam

The fee for the exam is $60 and a score of at least 70% is required to pass the exam.
The exam is open book, multiple-choice, and timed.
There are 60 questions on the exam with a 2 hour time limit. Not all reference books are allowed into the exam.
Topics covered on the exam are safety, liens, general building code requirements, roofing – steep, licensing, roofing – repairs, sheet metal and flashing, roofing – elastomeric, business and law, and roofing – built-up bituminous.
Once you are approved you will receive an eligibility letter to schedule your testing. The eligibility letter is valid for 120 days from the date on the letter and allows the candidate to take 1 exam within that time frame.
To schedule your exam you must contact PSI at 1-800-733-9267.
Failing candidates may not retake an exam until at least 30 days after the failed exam.

How We Help You Prepare

American Contractors does not currently offer an exam prep course for Roofing Contractors. Please contact us for additional information, 1-800-992-1910.

To apply, contact State of North Carolina Licensing Board 1-919-571-4183.

The licensing fees are: Limited $75, Intermediate $100, and Unlimited $125.

Applications are cleared for approval to take the exam as soon as they are received. However, once exams are passed, applications are submitted to the board for review.

Applications must be submitted the 1st week of the month prior to the next board meeting (ex. 1st week of June for July approval).

The board meets once per month in every month except December. Therefore, processing time would be 1 to 2 months depending on the date submitted to the board.

All general contractors licenses expire December 31 each calendar year and normally are not issued during the month of December.
