ICC National Roofing Contractor/Subcontractor - G14-N - Books & Courses Rental Package

The ICC National Roofing Contractor/Subcontractor - G14-N - Books & Courses Rental Package is designed for students preparing for the ICC National Roofing Contractor/Subcontractor exam using the International Building Code, 2018, the International Residential Code for One- and Two-Family Dwellings, 2018, and the International Plumbing Code, 2018. This rental package combines highlighted and tabbed reference books with online course access so students can prepare with organized materials, structured study guidance, and practical reference-navigation support.

Roofing contractor exams require a strong understanding of roofing code requirements, roof assemblies, roof coverings, reroofing, flashing, roof drainage, underlayment, slope requirements, weather protection, material standards, ventilation, construction safety concepts, and trade-specific code application. Field experience is valuable, but exam success depends on the ability to read each question carefully, identify the correct roofing topic, locate the applicable code section, and apply the rule exactly as written.

The International Building Code, 2018, International Residential Code for One- and Two-Family Dwellings, 2018, and International Plumbing Code, 2018 are the reference books included with this rental package. Students preparing for the G14-N exam should become familiar with the organization of all three books, including roofing provisions, residential roofing requirements, commercial roofing requirements, roof drainage provisions, definitions, tables, exceptions, and related construction requirements. Many exam questions require candidates to identify the correct reference, locate the correct chapter or section, and apply the requirement to a specific roofing scenario.

This rental package is useful for roofing contractor candidates, roofing subcontractors, roofers, roofing company owners, supervisors, estimators, project managers, construction professionals, inspectors, and students preparing for a roofing contractor exam based on the 2018 building, residential, and plumbing codes. It is especially helpful for students who want physical reference books that are already highlighted and tabbed, along with online course access for a more organized study experience.

The package is built to help students study in a focused way. Instead of trying to approach three large code books without direction, students can work through course material, review key roofing contractor topics, and practice using the rental books as exam references. The goal is to build stronger code-navigation habits, better table-use confidence, and a more consistent preparation routine before exam day.

The rental format gives students access to the listed references for preparation while keeping the study process organized. Highlighted and tabbed books can make it easier to practice finding chapters, tables, definitions, roofing sections, roof drainage provisions, and installation requirements during study. The online course provides additional structure so students can review roofing contractor topics in a focused sequence instead of trying to study all three code books without a plan.

Exam Details

The ICC National Roofing Contractor/Subcontractor exam code G14-N is associated with roofing contractor knowledge and the application of building, residential, and plumbing code requirements to roofing work. Students preparing with this rental package should study with the International Building Code, 2018, the International Residential Code for One- and Two-Family Dwellings, 2018, and the International Plumbing Code, 2018 as the primary code references.

• Exam Name: National Roofing Contractor/Subcontractor
• Exam Code: G14-N
• Primary Reference: International Building Code, 2018
• Primary Reference: International Residential Code for One- and Two-Family Dwellings, 2018
• Primary Reference: International Plumbing Code, 2018
• Exam Focus: Roofing code application, roof assemblies, roof coverings, underlayment, flashing, roof slope, reroofing, roof drainage, weather protection, residential roofing provisions, commercial roofing provisions, plumbing code roof drainage provisions, and contractor trade knowledge.

Roofing contractor exam questions may cover a wide range of roofing conditions and code requirements. Students should prepare for questions involving roof assemblies, roof coverings, asphalt shingles, metal roof panels, tile roofing, low-slope roofing concepts, roof slopes, underlayment, ice barriers where applicable, flashing, drip edge, roof ventilation, attic ventilation, roof sheathing, roof drainage, scuppers, gutters, downspouts, reroofing, roof replacement, roof recover conditions, material installation requirements, fire classification, wind resistance, and weather protection.

Because this is a code-based exam, the correct answer depends on the approved reference materials and the facts stated in the question. A student may recognize a roofing condition from field experience, but the exam answer should still be confirmed through the proper code reference. Strong preparation includes learning how to identify the topic quickly, choose the correct reference book, and locate the correct rule without losing time.

Students should also be prepared for questions that require careful use of tables, definitions, exceptions, and code scope. Some questions may apply to one- and two-family dwellings under the IRC, while others may involve broader building code provisions under the IBC. Roof drainage questions may point to the IPC. Knowing which book applies to the question is an important part of exam readiness.

Open Book Test

The ICC National Roofing Contractor/Subcontractor G14-N exam is an open book test. The approved references for this rental package include the International Building Code, 2018, the International Residential Code for One- and Two-Family Dwellings, 2018, and the International Plumbing Code, 2018. Open book testing allows candidates to use approved reference materials during the exam, but it still requires serious preparation and strong reference-navigation skills.

Open book does not mean the exam is easy. The building, residential, and plumbing codes contain definitions, technical requirements, tables, exceptions, chapter organization, and material-specific provisions. Students who are not familiar with the layout of the books may spend too much time searching for answers. The highlighted and tabbed rental books support faster navigation, but students still need to practice using the books repeatedly during preparation.

A strong open book strategy begins with reading the question carefully. Students should identify whether the question involves a residential dwelling, a building code condition, roof covering, roof slope, underlayment, flashing, ventilation, reroofing, roof drainage, scuppers, gutters, material classification, fire classification, or weather protection. After identifying the topic, the student should use the correct reference book to confirm the exact requirement and select the answer that best matches the code language.

Students should become comfortable using the table of contents, indexes, chapter structure, definitions, tables, roofing sections, plumbing drainage sections, notes, and exceptions in all three books. Practicing with the same highlighted and tabbed books included in the rental package helps students build confidence and improve reference speed before exam day.

Students should follow current testing rules for books, tabs, highlighting, notes, and reference material condition. The rental books are highlighted and tabbed for study support, and students should use them consistently throughout the course access period so the reference layout becomes familiar before testing.

Licensing Steps

The ICC National Roofing Contractor/Subcontractor G14-N exam may be used by a jurisdiction, municipality, employer, or licensing authority as part of a roofing contractor qualification process. Contractor licensing and qualification rules vary by location, so students should understand how the exam fits into the requirements for the state, city, county, or local authority where they plan to work.

A practical preparation path for this exam may include the following steps:

• Confirm that the ICC National Roofing Contractor/Subcontractor G14-N exam is the correct exam for your licensing, employment, or professional goal.
• Use the International Building Code, 2018 as one of the primary code references for study.
• Use the International Residential Code for One- and Two-Family Dwellings, 2018 as one of the primary code references for study.
• Use the International Plumbing Code, 2018 as one of the primary code references for roof drainage and plumbing-related roofing provisions.
• Work through the online course during the 6 months of course access.
• Practice locating answers in the highlighted and tabbed rental books.
• Review roofing requirements, roof assemblies, roof coverings, underlayment, flashing, slope, ventilation, reroofing, roof drainage, weather protection, and applicable residential, building, and plumbing code provisions.
• Practice answering questions under timed conditions to improve speed and accuracy.
• Review current exam-day rules for approved references, identification, scheduling, and testing procedures.

Some licensing authorities may require additional steps before a roofing contractor license or qualification is issued. These may include an application, documented experience, fees, insurance, bonding, business registration, local registration, financial requirements, trade name registration, continuing education, or other requirements. Passing an exam may be one part of the licensing process, but it may not be the only requirement.

State Requirements

Roofing contractor and roofing subcontractor requirements vary by state, county, city, municipality, and local authority having jurisdiction. Some locations may use an ICC contractor exam as part of their licensing or qualification process, while others may require a state-specific exam, a local contractor license, business registration, insurance, bonding, experience documentation, or separate approval from a contractor board.

For exam preparation, students using this rental package should focus on the references provided: the International Building Code, 2018, the International Residential Code for One- and Two-Family Dwellings, 2018, and the International Plumbing Code, 2018. For actual field work, students should also understand that adopted code editions and local amendments may vary. A jurisdiction may enforce the 2018 codes, a newer edition, an older edition, or local amendments that affect roofing work.

The G14-N rental package supports exam preparation, reference navigation, and roofing topic review. Licensing approval, employment authorization, contractor status, and roofing contractor recognition are controlled by the applicable licensing authority. Students should follow the requirements of the authority that governs the license or credential they are pursuing.

Reference Books

• International Building Code, 2018
  Included Rental Book: A primary code reference for this package. The 2018 IBC contains building code provisions related to roof assemblies, roof coverings, fire classification, weather protection, construction requirements, reroofing provisions, and other building code topics that may apply to roofing contractor exam preparation.
• International Residential Code for One- and Two-Family Dwellings, 2018
  Included Rental Book: A primary code reference for this package. The 2018 IRC contains residential code provisions for one- and two-family dwellings, including roof assemblies, roof coverings, asphalt shingles, underlayment, flashing, ventilation, reroofing, roof drainage, and related residential construction requirements.
• International Plumbing Code, 2018
  Included Rental Book: A primary code reference for this package. The 2018 IPC contains plumbing code provisions that may support roofing contractor preparation where roof drainage, storm drainage, gutters, conductors, leaders, scuppers, and related drainage requirements are part of the exam topic.

The included rental books are highlighted and tabbed. This helps students begin studying with organized references and supports faster code navigation during practice. Students should still spend time learning the tab locations, highlighted sections, chapter structure, indexes, tables, and definitions so the books become familiar before the exam.

The IBC, IRC, and IPC should be treated as the main code references for preparation. Students should practice locating roofing provisions in the IBC and IRC, then using the IPC when a question involves roof drainage or storm-water-related requirements. Repeated use of the references during the 6 months of course access helps students improve speed and confidence.

Test Information and Study Materials

National Roofing Contractor/Subcontractor exam preparation should focus on applying the 2018 International Building Code, 2018 International Residential Code, and 2018 International Plumbing Code to roofing installation and contractor scenarios. Students should study roof assemblies, roof coverings, underlayment, flashing, ventilation, roof slope, reroofing, roof drainage, weather protection, material standards, fire classification, drainage sizing concepts, and code definitions.

Roof covering requirements are central to this exam. Students should review the code provisions that address roof assembly materials, installation requirements, roof slope limitations, fastening, underlayment, ice barriers where applicable, flashing, drip edge, valley protection, and product application conditions. These topics connect directly to roofing work and should be practiced with the reference books.

Underlayment and weather protection should receive careful attention. Roofing questions may depend on roof slope, climate condition, underlayment type, number of layers, ice barrier requirements, installation method, or flashing detail. Students should read the full code requirement and check any notes or exceptions that affect the final answer.

Flashing is another important topic for roofing contractors. Students should review flashing requirements around roof penetrations, walls, chimneys, valleys, edges, changes in roof slope, and other conditions where water intrusion must be controlled. Proper flashing is a key part of roof performance and code compliance.

Ventilation may also appear in roofing exam preparation. Students should review attic ventilation requirements, net free ventilation area concepts, ventilation openings, location of vents, and related provisions. Ventilation questions may require students to understand how roof assemblies and attic spaces are intended to manage heat and moisture.

Reroofing provisions should not be overlooked. Roofing contractor exams may include questions about when existing coverings may remain, when removal is required, how roof recover conditions are evaluated, and how existing deck conditions affect reroofing work. Students should study reroofing rules carefully because they often involve exceptions and specific conditions.

Roof drainage is a major reason the International Plumbing Code is included in this package. Students should review roof drains, secondary drainage, scuppers, gutters, downspouts, leaders, conductors, storm drainage concepts, and related drainage requirements. Roofing contractors should understand how roof water is collected and directed away from the building in a code-compliant manner.

Students should also review definitions and scope. Some questions may involve one- and two-family dwellings, while others may involve broader building code applications or roof drainage provisions. Understanding when to use the IRC, when to use the IBC, and when to use the IPC can save time and help prevent wrong answers.

Because the package includes 6 months of course access, students can build a steady study schedule instead of cramming. A strong routine may include reviewing one topic at a time, practicing reference lookup, completing practice questions, reviewing missed answers, and returning to weak areas. Repetition helps students remember where information is located and improves confidence with the books.

When reviewing missed questions, students should return to the IBC, IRC, or IPC section connected to the answer. Reading the surrounding code language helps students understand why the answer is correct and how similar questions may be asked. This habit helps build long-term code familiarity and reduces repeated mistakes.
