AZ Roofing Contractor case studies
AZ Roofing Contractor · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The Arizona Roofing Contractor license is a classification issued by the Arizona Registrar of Contractors (ROC) that authorizes a business to contract for roofing work in the state. It is written for working roofing professionals - installers, foremen, estimators, and small-business owners - who are moving from performing the trade to contracting for it, and who must demonstrate that they can run a roofing business competently as well as install roofs correctly. The trade examination samples the technical breadth of the roofing trade: material and system selection, deck and underlayment preparation, steep-slope installations in shingle, tile, metal, slate and wood, low-slope membranes such as modified bitumen, EPDM, TPO, PVC and foam, flashing and penetration detailing, drainage, insulation and ventilation, inspection and repair practice, estimating and plan reading, and codes and jobsite safety. Questions are multiple choice and the exam is closed book and proctored, so preparation means committing the material to memory rather than looking it up. The AZ Roofing Contractor case studies are 5 cases and about 2,398 words.
