Nevada Roofing Contractor (C-15A) Ultimate Books Exam Room Approved + Course + Application Package

Prepare for the Nevada Roofing Contractor C-15A licensing process with an Ultimate package that combines the exam-room-approved roofing reference, Nevada business and law material, organized book preparation, 1 year of course access, and Application Service. This package is designed for candidates pursuing the Nevada C-15A Roofing Contractor classification who want a structured way to prepare for both the roofing trade examination and the required Nevada Construction Management Survey business and law examination.

The Nevada C-15A Roofing Contractor classification covers the installation, application, alteration, and repair of watertight and weatherproof roofing materials. The scope includes roofing materials such as asphalt, pitch, tar, felt, flax, shakes, shingles, aluminum, tile, slate, urethane, and photovoltaic roof tiles intended to serve in place of other roofing materials. The C-15A classification does not authorize siding work or electrical work associated with photovoltaic systems.

The roofing examination requires candidates to understand several different areas of the trade, including roofing substrates, steep roofing systems, roofing repairs, elastomeric roofing, built-up bituminous roofing, sheet metal and flashing, photovoltaic systems, and construction safety. Because the Nevada C-15A exam is open book but only permits a specific code reference in the examination room, candidates need both technical knowledge and efficient code-navigation skills.

This Ultimate package includes the International Building Code, 2018, which is approved for use in the C-15A roofing trade examination room, along with the Construction Business and Law Manual for Nevada for the separate Construction Management Survey examination. All supplied books are highlighted and tabbed to support exam preparation and efficient reference navigation.

Package Price: $1,264.

Refundable Deposit: An additional $150 refundable deposit applies.

Total Initial Payment: $1,414.

Please allow up to 15 business days for Ultimate Books Exam Room Approved package orders.

Exam Details

The Nevada C-15A Roofing Contractor examination is administered through PSI for the Nevada State Contractors Board. Before scheduling the examination, the contractor application must be submitted and the qualifying individual's experience must be accepted so examination eligibility can be issued.

The C-15A Roofing Contractor trade examination contains 50 questions. Candidates must answer at least 38 questions correctly to meet the published minimum passing score. The examination allows 2 hours for completion.

The published C-15A examination content outline includes:

• Safety: 5 questions.
• Roofing Substrates: 7 questions.
• Steep Roofing: 17 questions.
• Roofing Repairs: 4 questions.
• Elastomeric Roofing: 6 questions.
• Built-up Bituminous Roofing: 7 questions.
• Sheet Metal and Flashing: 2 questions.
• Photovoltaic Systems: 2 questions.

Steep roofing is the largest individual content area, accounting for 17 of the 50 questions. Roofing substrates and built-up bituminous roofing each account for seven questions, while elastomeric roofing accounts for six. Safety, repairs, flashing, and photovoltaic roofing systems complete the published outline.

Nevada contractor applicants generally must also satisfy the Construction Management Survey, commonly called the CMS exam. The CMS is the state's contractor business and law examination and covers topics such as licensing, contracts, estimating, bidding, financial management, lien law, labor requirements, taxes, project management, risk management, and related construction-business subjects.

Open Book Test

The Nevada C-15A Roofing Contractor trade examination is an open-book test. The current PSI examination outline allows the International Building Code, 2018 in the examination center for the C-15A trade exam.

The Nevada Construction Management Survey business and law examination is also open book. Candidates may use the Construction Business and Law Manual for Nevada during the CMS examination.

PSI requires candidates to bring their own approved reference materials. References may be highlighted, underlined, and indexed before the examination. References may not contain writing, and candidates are not permitted to write or add highlighting to the books during the examination session.

Permanent tabs are allowed for organizing approved references. Temporary tabs, including removable flags or Post-It-style tabs, are not permitted. Candidates also may not bring additional loose or attached papers with the approved reference materials.

Because only the approved code reference may be used in the C-15A trade examination room, candidates should not depend on bringing every study resource used during preparation. Trade knowledge remains important. Candidates should study roofing materials, installation practices, repair procedures, roofing systems, safety, flashing, substrates, and photovoltaic roofing concepts while also becoming comfortable navigating the International Building Code.

Licensing Steps

1. Select the C-15A Roofing Contractor classification. Applicants seeking authority to perform roofing work within Nevada's defined C-15A scope apply for this specific specialty classification.
2. Identify the qualifying individual. Nevada requires a qualified individual who is actively connected with the contractor business and who meets the requirements associated with the requested classification.
3. Document roofing experience. The trade qualified individual generally must demonstrate at least four full years of qualifying experience in the requested classification within the 15 years immediately before the contractor application is filed.
4. Submit the contractor license application. The Nevada State Contractors Board reviews the application, experience documentation, qualifying individual information, and other required licensing materials.
5. Receive examination eligibility. Candidates cannot schedule the Nevada contractor examinations until the Board has reviewed the applicable qualifications and issued examination eligibility.
6. Complete the C-15A trade examination. The trade qualifier must satisfy the roofing examination requirement unless an applicable examination waiver is granted.
7. Complete the Construction Management Survey examination. The appropriate qualifier must satisfy Nevada's business and law examination requirement unless an applicable waiver applies.
8. Complete remaining Board requirements. Applicants must satisfy Nevada's financial responsibility, background, bonding, and other licensing requirements before a license can be issued.

The Application Service included with this Ultimate package provides application-related support while candidates organize the information and documentation involved in the Nevada contractor licensing process.

State Requirements

The Nevada State Contractors Board regulates contractor licensing in Nevada. A C-15A license is a roofing subclassification under the broader C-15 Roofing and Siding classification.

The C-15A scope authorizes installation, application, alteration, and repair of watertight and weatherproof materials used on roofs. Examples listed in Nevada regulations include asphalt, pitch, tar, felt, flax, shakes, shingles, aluminum, tile, slate, urethane, and photovoltaic roof tiles that replace traditional roofing materials.

The C-15A license does not authorize installation of siding or devices used for internal control of weather effects. It also does not authorize installation of conduits, inverters, batteries, or electrical connections associated with photovoltaic systems.

The trade qualified individual generally must have at least four full years of applicable experience as a journeyman, foreman, supervising employee, or contractor in the specific classification requested within the 15 years immediately before filing the application. Nevada may accept qualifying education or training toward a portion of the experience requirement within the limits established by the Board.

Nevada contractor applicants are also subject to financial responsibility requirements. The Board reviews financial information as part of determining the contractor's approved monetary limit and licensing status.

A contractor bond is required after approval. The amount is determined by the Nevada State Contractors Board based on factors associated with the applicant and license. Examination completion alone does not issue the contractor license; all applicable Board requirements must be satisfied.

Reference Books

• Included Book: International Building Code, 2018
  The approved exam-room reference for the Nevada C-15A Roofing Contractor trade examination. The code includes building requirements that relate to roof assemblies, rooftop structures, materials, structural considerations, weather protection, and other construction code provisions. Candidates should become familiar with its organization, index, chapters, definitions, tables, and roofing-related sections before exam day.
• Included Book: Construction Business and Law Manual for Nevada
  The approved reference for the separate Nevada Construction Management Survey business and law examination. The manual supports study of Nevada contractor licensing, estimating and bidding, contracts, financial management, lien law, project management, labor and tax topics, risk management, and other contractor business subjects.

Exam Room Approved Books

The supplied books in this package are prepared for the specific examinations in which they are approved.

• International Building Code, 2018
  This is the approved reference supplied for use in the Nevada C-15A Roofing Contractor trade examination room.
• Construction Business and Law Manual for Nevada
  This is the approved reference supplied for use in the separate Nevada Construction Management Survey business and law examination.

Not every roofing study reference used to develop the C-15A examination is permitted in the testing room. PSI distinguishes between references used to prepare examination questions and the specific reference allowed during the examination. For the C-15A trade exam, the International Building Code, 2018 is the approved exam-room reference supplied with this package.

The books are highlighted and tabbed before delivery. Candidates should use the prepared books throughout their study period so the tab locations and code organization become familiar. Exam-room preparation is most useful when combined with repeated practice rather than relying on the tabs for the first time on test day.

Test Information and Study Materials

Effective C-15A preparation should reflect the official content weighting. Steep roofing represents more than one-third of the examination, so candidates should dedicate substantial study time to steep-slope roofing systems, materials, installation concepts, and related trade practices.

Roofing substrates are another important area. Candidates should understand substrate conditions, preparation, compatibility, and the role the roof deck or surface plays in a complete roofing system. Built-up bituminous and elastomeric roofing also require focused review because together they account for 13 examination questions.

Safety preparation should cover hazards encountered during roofing work, including fall risks and general jobsite safety principles. The examination also includes questions on roofing repairs, sheet metal and flashing, and photovoltaic systems, so candidates should not overlook these smaller categories.

Code-navigation practice should be part of every study plan. Use the International Building Code while completing practice questions. Learn how to move from the index to the correct chapter and section, and become comfortable recognizing roofing terminology that appears in code provisions.

Because the trade exam permits only the approved code reference, candidates should also develop strong trade knowledge that does not depend on having every roofing manual available during testing. Study materials can be used extensively before the examination even when those materials are not allowed in the exam room.

For the CMS examination, study with the Construction Business and Law Manual for Nevada. Review licensing concepts, estimating, bidding, contracts, project management, financial responsibilities, lien-related subjects, labor requirements, taxation, risk management, and other business topics while practicing how to locate answers within the manual.
