Exam Details

The Arizona Roofing Residential / Commercial Contractor (CR-42) trade exam is designed for candidates preparing to qualify for roofing work in both residential and commercial settings. Candidates should prepare for roof systems, roof coverings, underlayment, flashing, roof accessories, insulation, coatings, weatherproofing, roof drainage, deck preparation, repair methods, residential code requirements, commercial code requirements, and OSHA construction safety.

The CR-42 classification covers roofing work involving materials common to the roofing industry that form a watertight, weather-resistant surface for roofs and decks. This includes installation and repair of roof tile, shingles, shakes, slate, metal roofing systems, urethane foam, roof insulation, roof coatings, and related roof accessories such as flashing, valleys, gravel stops, and sheet metal items required for roofing work.

Roofing exam preparation should include steep-slope and low-slope roofing concepts. Candidates should understand roof pitch, roof decks, underlayment, fasteners, flashing, valleys, ridges, hips, eaves, rakes, roof penetrations, roof drainage, weather exposure, ventilation, and material compatibility. Roofing questions may require a mix of trade knowledge and reference-book use.

Weatherproofing preparation may include asphaltum, pitch, tar, felt, glass fabric, flax, coatings, membranes, sealants, flashing details, and water-shedding principles. Candidates should understand how weatherproofing materials and roof accessories work together to protect the building envelope. Good roofing preparation includes understanding how roof components control water, resist wind, protect the deck, and support long-term building performance.

Commercial roofing preparation should include the International Building Code, 2018. Candidates should become familiar with commercial building code organization, roof assembly provisions, structural awareness, fire classification concepts, materials, code definitions, and inspection-related topics. Commercial projects may involve larger roof areas, different occupancy concerns, more complex drainage, and broader code applications.

Residential roofing preparation should include the International Residential Code for One- and Two-Family Dwellings, 2018. Candidates should review residential roof covering provisions, roof drainage, flashing, underlayment, attic ventilation awareness, roof framing coordination, re-roofing concepts, and dwelling-related construction requirements. The IRC supports preparation for roofing work on one- and two-family dwellings.

Safety should be studied with OSHA 29 CFR Part 1926. Roofing work can involve fall hazards, ladders, scaffolds, aerial lifts, roof edges, skylights, hot work, power tools, material handling, weather exposure, electrical hazard awareness, and housekeeping concerns. Candidates should prepare for roofing safety topics with both reference knowledge and practical jobsite awareness.

Open Book Test

The Arizona CR-42 Roofing residential/commercial contractor exam is an open book test. Candidates may bring specific approved references into the examination center. The approved references included with this package are Code of Federal Regulations - 29 CFR Part 1926 (OSHA), International Building Code, 2018, and International Residential Code for One- and Two-Family Dwellings, 2018.

Open book does not mean the exam is simple. Candidates must be able to identify the subject being tested, choose the correct reference, locate information efficiently, and apply the answer to the question. The approved books are most useful when the candidate has practiced using them before the exam.

Approved references may be highlighted, underlined, annotated, and indexed before the examination session. Candidates may not write, highlight, underline, or add indexing during the exam. Book preparation should be completed before test day so the materials are ready for use during the timed examination.

References may be tabbed or indexed with permanent tabs only. Permanent tabs are tabs that would tear the page if removed. Temporary tabs, removable sticky notes, loose papers, and extra attached papers are not allowed. This package supports preparation by providing books that are highlighted and tabbed for exam preparation.

For this exam, candidates should practice using each reference in the package. OSHA 29 CFR Part 1926 supports construction safety and employee protection preparation. The International Building Code, 2018 supports commercial building code and roof assembly preparation. The International Residential Code for One- and Two-Family Dwellings, 2018 supports residential roofing and dwelling-related construction code preparation.

Strong open-book preparation includes learning how each book is organized, using the table of contents and index, reading definitions, locating tables, following exceptions, and confirming requirements before selecting an answer. The highlighted and tabbed books included in this package help support faster navigation, but consistent practice before test day is still important.

Licensing Steps

Arizona contractor licensing is regulated by the Arizona Registrar of Contractors. Candidates pursuing the CR-42 Roofing residential/commercial contractor classification should prepare for the required trade examination and complete the contractor licensing application process connected to the classification.

The licensing process generally begins with confirming that the CR-42 classification matches the work the contractor intends to perform. Arizona contractor licenses are classification-specific, so selecting the correct classification is important. The CR-42 classification is intended for contractors seeking a dual residential and commercial roofing scope.

After confirming the correct classification, candidates should prepare for the trade exam by studying the exam content areas, reviewing the approved references, practicing book navigation, and building familiarity with roofing materials, roof coverings, weatherproofing, flashing, roof accessories, roof insulation, coatings, safety, residential code requirements, and commercial code requirements.

The contractor application process may include business information, qualifying party information, documentation, and other licensing materials required for the Arizona contractor license application. This Ultimate package includes Application Service support to help candidates stay organized while working through the licensing process.

Application Service is included because exam preparation and licensing paperwork are both important parts of the contractor licensing goal. Passing the trade exam is a major step, but the application must also be completed properly. Organized application support helps candidates focus on study while keeping the licensing process moving forward.

State Requirements

The Arizona CR-42 Roofing residential/commercial classification allows the scope of work permitted by the commercial C-42 Roofing license and the residential R-42 Roofing license. This makes CR-42 a dual classification for contractors preparing to perform roofing work in both residential and commercial settings within the permitted scope.

The CR-42 classification allows the licensee to apply or install weatherproofing, including materials such as asphaltum, pitch, tar, felt, glass fabric, or flax, and roof accessories such as flashing, valleys, gravel stops, or sheet metal as required to install or repair roof tile, shingles, shakes, slate, metal roofing systems, urethane foam, roof insulation, or coatings on or above the roof deck.

Roofing work under this classification is focused on creating and repairing watertight and weather-resistant roof and deck surfaces. Candidates should understand that roofing work includes both the visible roof covering and related accessories needed to complete the roofing system properly.

State requirements matter because they define the type of contracting work that may be performed under the license. Candidates should prepare for the required examination, use the correct classification, and complete the application process carefully. This package supports both the study side and the application side by combining approved books, course access, highlighted and tabbed references, and Application Service.

Roofing contractors must understand weather exposure, slope, drainage, flashing, roof coverings, substrates, accessories, safety, material handling, code compliance, and inspection readiness. Residential and commercial roofing projects share many installation principles, but they may involve different project sizes, code requirements, roof assemblies, deck conditions, and safety planning needs.

Reference Books

• Included Book: Code of Federal Regulations - 29 CFR Part 1926 (OSHA)

Exam Room Approved Books

The following exam-room-approved books are included with this Arizona CR-42 Ultimate package:

• Code of Federal Regulations - 29 CFR Part 1926 (OSHA)
  Approved for use in the examination center for construction safety and employee protection preparation.
• International Building Code, 2018
  Approved for use in the examination center and used for commercial building code preparation based on the listed code edition.
• International Residential Code for One- and Two-Family Dwellings, 2018
  Approved for use in the examination center and used for residential building code preparation based on the listed code edition.

All books are highlighted and tabbed for exam preparation. Candidates should still spend time using the books before exam day so the organization, tabs, indexes, tables, definitions, and important sections become familiar. A prepared reference book is most useful when the candidate knows how to move through it confidently.

For open-book contractor exams, reference navigation is a major study skill. Candidates should practice locating information under timed conditions, moving from question keywords to index entries, and confirming answers in the correct code section. This helps turn the books into active exam tools rather than unfamiliar references.

Test Information and Study Materials

Preparation for the Arizona CR-42 Roofing residential/commercial contractor exam should include roof system review, roofing material review, commercial building code review, residential building code review, and OSHA construction safety. Candidates should use the included course and approved references together instead of treating the books as test-day-only materials.

A strong study plan should begin with roofing fundamentals. Candidates should review roof coverings, roof decks, underlayment, flashing, roof penetrations, valleys, hips, ridges, eaves, rakes, fasteners, ventilation awareness, coatings, roof insulation, drainage, and repair methods. Roofing work is highly dependent on installation details, so candidates should understand how each component contributes to a weather-resistant system.

Steep-slope roof preparation may include shingles, tile, shakes, slate, metal roofing systems, underlayment, flashing details, roof slope, fastener requirements, roof penetrations, and re-roofing concerns. Low-slope roof preparation may include coatings, membranes, insulation, drainage, roof edges, terminations, and weatherproofing principles. Candidates should understand the difference between water-shedding and waterproof roof assemblies.

Commercial code preparation should include the International Building Code, 2018. Candidates should become familiar with the table of contents, definitions, roof assembly provisions, materials, fire classification concepts, structural awareness, and inspection-related topics. Commercial roof systems may require careful attention to code terminology and reference navigation.

Residential code preparation should include the International Residential Code for One- and Two-Family Dwellings, 2018. Candidates should review residential roof coverings, flashing, underlayment, roof slope, roof drainage, attic ventilation awareness, re-roofing provisions, roof framing coordination, and residential construction definitions. The IRC is especially important for candidates preparing for roofing work on one- and two-family dwellings.

Safety preparation should include OSHA 29 CFR Part 1926. Candidates should review fall protection, ladders, scaffolds, aerial lifts, personal protective equipment, roof-edge awareness, skylight hazards, material handling, tool safety, housekeeping, heat exposure awareness, electrical hazard awareness, and safe jobsite behavior. Roofing is safety-sensitive work, so OSHA preparation should be part of regular study sessions.

Reference navigation should be practiced throughout the study process. Candidates should know where major sections are located, how to use indexes, how to find definitions, and how to confirm requirements in the correct book. Since this package includes highlighted and tabbed books, students can use the prepared references to build familiarity and speed before exam day.

The included course gives candidates a structured way to prepare. Instead of jumping between disconnected topics, students can review major subject areas, reinforce trade concepts, practice reference navigation, and build confidence with exam-style preparation. The included 1 year of course access gives students time to work through the material at a manageable pace.

Time management should also be part of preparation. Candidates should practice reading carefully, deciding when to use a reference, and moving forward when a question takes too long. Preparation should build both roofing trade knowledge and confidence with the open-book exam format.
