Exam Details

The Nevada C-15 Roofing and Siding Contractor examination contains 60 questions. Candidates are allowed 2 hours to complete the exam and must answer 45 questions correctly to pass.

The examination covers the following major subject areas:

• Safety
• Roofing Substrates
• Steep Roofing
• Roofing Repairs
• Elastomeric Roofing
• Built-up Bituminous Roofing
• Sheet Metal and Flashing
• Siding
• Photovoltaic Systems

Steep Roofing is one of the major areas of the exam. Candidates should understand roof coverings, underlayments, fastening, slopes, valleys, flashing, roof edges, penetrations, drainage, and general installation concepts.

Roofing Substrates should include sheathing, deck conditions, structural support, surface preparation, deterioration, moisture, attachment, and compatibility between the substrate and the roofing system installed above it.

Siding is an important subject because the C-15 classification includes both roofing and exterior wall work. Candidates should be prepared for questions involving siding materials, exterior wall weatherproofing, flashing, soffits, attachment, openings, and moisture management.

Built-up Bituminous Roofing and Elastomeric Roofing require understanding of low-slope roof systems, membranes, materials, seams, surfacing, attachment, flashing, penetrations, drainage, and common repair conditions.

Safety, repairs, sheet metal and flashing, and photovoltaic-related topics should also be included in a balanced study plan.

Open Book Test

The Nevada C-15 Roofing and Siding Contractor examination is an open-book test.

The highlighted and tabbed reference included in this package that is allowed into the trade examination is:

• International Building Code, 2018

This package focuses specifically on the book allowed into the Nevada C-15 trade examination. Supplemental roofing, siding, OSHA, estimating, carpentry, and photovoltaic study references are not included.

Open-book testing still requires strong trade knowledge and efficient reference use. Candidates should first identify the subject of a question before searching the code. Determine whether the question involves roofing, siding, structural conditions, exterior walls, fire classification, rooftop components, flashing, or another building-code topic.

With 60 questions in two hours, candidates have about two minutes per question on average. Searching through the code without a clear direction can consume too much time. The highlighted and tabbed format can support quicker navigation, but familiarity with the code structure remains essential.

Candidates should practice using the table of contents, index, definitions, chapter organization, tables, exceptions, and cross-references so they can move efficiently through the International Building Code during preparation.

Licensing Steps

1. Confirm the C-15 classification. Make sure Roofing and Siding matches the type of contracting work the business intends to perform.
2. Identify the qualifying individual. The contractor application must identify the person responsible for satisfying the applicable trade qualification requirements.
3. Prepare qualifying experience information. Organize the work-history documentation required for the C-15 classification.
4. Submit the Nevada contractor license application. Complete the applicable application and supporting documentation.
5. Receive examination eligibility. After the application and qualification information are reviewed, the qualifying individual can proceed with the required examinations.
6. Prepare for the C-15 trade examination. Study roofing, siding, substrates, flashing, low-slope systems, repairs, safety, and photovoltaic roofing topics.
7. Practice IBC navigation. Use the highlighted and tabbed International Building Code, 2018 throughout preparation.
8. Prepare for Nevada Business and Law. Contractor applicants must satisfy the applicable Nevada business and law requirement unless an authorized waiver applies.
9. Complete the required examinations. Take the applicable trade and business examinations.
10. Complete remaining licensing requirements. Finish the other applicable requirements associated with contractor license issuance.

State Requirements

Nevada recognizes C-15 Roofing and Siding as a specialty contractor classification. The classification includes roofing and siding work and encompasses the work authorized under its applicable subclassifications.

The roofing portion includes installation, application, alteration, and repair of watertight and weatherproof materials used on roofs. Candidates should understand how different roof coverings, substrates, flashing, and weather-resistant assemblies work together.

The siding portion covers installation, alteration, and repair of siding used to make exterior walls watertight and weatherproof. This includes understanding how siding integrates with sheathing, soffits, trim, openings, flashing, and other exterior-wall components.

The broader C-15 classification also encompasses related insulation and waterproofing work authorized under its subclassifications. Candidates should therefore think of roofing and siding as connected parts of the overall building envelope.

The C-15 trade examination is one part of the Nevada contractor licensing process. Applicants must also satisfy applicable qualification, application, business and law, financial, and other licensing requirements before a contractor license is issued.

Reference Books

• International Building Code, 2018
  This highlighted and tabbed exam-room-approved reference supports preparation involving roof coverings, roof assemblies, exterior walls, construction materials, structural conditions, fire classification, rooftop requirements, definitions, tables, and other building-code provisions relevant to roofing and siding work.

Exam Room Approved Books

• International Building Code, 2018
  This highlighted and tabbed reference is the exam-room-approved book included with the Nevada C-15 Roofing and Siding Contractor Highlighted & Tabbed Books Allowed into Exam Package. Candidates should use it regularly during preparation to build familiarity with roofing, exterior-wall, structural, and building-envelope provisions.

Test Information and Study Materials

A strong C-15 preparation plan should include both technical knowledge and efficient code navigation. Since this package focuses on the International Building Code, candidates should pair their trade knowledge with repeated practice locating applicable code requirements.

Steep Roofing should include roof coverings, slopes, underlayments, fastening, valleys, roof edges, penetrations, flashing, and drainage.

Roofing Substrates should include sheathing, structural support, deterioration, moisture, attachment, surface preparation, and compatibility with the finished roofing system.

Siding should receive dedicated study time. Candidates should understand exterior wall coverings, weatherproofing, flashing, soffits, attachment, openings, moisture control, and how siding integrates with the rest of the building envelope.

Built-up Bituminous Roofing should include low-slope system components, bituminous materials, membranes, surfacing, flashing, attachment, and repair concepts.

Elastomeric Roofing should include membrane materials, seams, penetrations, roof edges, drainage, attachment, flashing, and common repair conditions.

Roofing Repairs should be studied as a diagnostic topic. Candidates should understand how leaks, failed flashing, membrane damage, deteriorated coverings, and substrate problems can affect roof performance.

Sheet Metal and Flashing applies to both roofing and siding. Review flashing at valleys, penetrations, roof-to-wall intersections, windows, doors, curbs, roof edges, and other transitions where water must be directed away from vulnerable areas.

Photovoltaic Systems should be reviewed from a roofing perspective. Candidates should understand how rooftop photovoltaic components can interact with roof coverings, waterproofing, flashing, and related roof-system conditions.

Safety should include common hazards associated with roofing and siding work, including fall exposure, ladders, scaffolds, tools, personal protective equipment, and material handling.

The International Building Code, 2018 should be used throughout the preparation period. Start by becoming familiar with the table of contents and chapter layout, then practice finding roofing and exterior-wall topics through the index.

The highlighted and tabbed format can help candidates return to major sections more efficiently, but the best results come from understanding how the code is organized. Candidates should know why a section applies, not simply where a tab is located.

Definitions should be reviewed carefully. Building-code questions often depend on the exact meaning of a term, and understanding terminology can make it easier to identify the correct section.

When locating a provision, candidates should read enough surrounding material to understand the complete requirement. Exceptions, subsections, tables, and cross-references can affect how a general rule applies.

Timed lookup drills can be useful. Select a topic such as roof coverings, exterior walls, roof assemblies, fire classification, structural conditions, rooftop requirements, or siding-related construction and locate the applicable provision under a time limit.

Repeat this exercise until code navigation becomes more natural. The goal is not to memorize the entire International Building Code but to become familiar enough with its organization to search efficiently.

Practice questions should initially be grouped by subject. Work separately on roofing, siding, substrates, flashing, low-slope systems, repairs, safety, and photovoltaic topics so weaker areas are easier to identify.

Once individual subjects become more familiar, move into mixed practice. The actual examination can shift quickly from roofing to siding, flashing, substrates, code requirements, safety, or another topic.

Time management should be included in preparation. With 60 questions in two hours, spending too long on one difficult lookup can reduce the time available for easier questions.

A balanced open-book strategy is to answer familiar trade questions efficiently, use the IBC for targeted confirmation, flag difficult items, and return to them after completing easier questions.

The highlighted and tabbed International Building Code can support this process by giving candidates a more organized reference for repeated study and exam-oriented navigation practice.

Please allow up to 15 business days for tabbed and highlighted books allowed into exam package orders.
