The scope also reaches skylights, required roof-deck attachments, wood roof sheathing or fascia repair or replacement done during a roof job, and evaluation and enhancement of roof-to-wall connections on wood-decked structures as described in Section 706 of the Florida Building Code-Existing Building, when tied to a covering replacement or repair. Candidates are typically working roofers, foremen, and supervisors moving into qualifying a business.
