Exam Details

The Nevada C-15A Roofing Contractor examination contains 50 questions. Candidates are allowed 2 hours to complete the examination and must answer 38 questions correctly to pass.

The examination content is divided into the following subject areas:

• 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

Roofing Substrates and Built-up Bituminous Roofing each account for 7 questions. Roofing substrates can involve deck conditions, sheathing, surface preparation, compatibility, structural support, and how the condition of the underlying surface affects the roofing system installed above it.

Elastomeric Roofing accounts for 6 questions. Candidates should understand membrane materials, seams, penetrations, flashing, roof edges, drainage, attachment concepts, and repair considerations.

Safety accounts for 5 questions, while Roofing Repairs accounts for 4. Sheet Metal and Flashing and Photovoltaic Systems each account for 2 questions. Candidates should prepare across all of these categories because every correct answer contributes toward the required passing score.

Open Book Test

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

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

• International Building Code, 2018

This package focuses specifically on the book allowed into the Nevada C-15A trade examination. Supplemental study-only references are not included.

Open-book testing still requires strong roofing knowledge. Candidates should be able to recognize whether a question concerns steep roofing, substrates, repairs, membrane systems, flashing, rooftop conditions, or another roofing topic before beginning a code search.

The highlighted and tabbed International Building Code can support this process by helping candidates move more efficiently to roofing-related sections. However, the book should still be studied as a complete code reference rather than simply as a collection of tabs.

With 50 questions in two hours, candidates have a little more than two minutes per question on average. Searching the code without understanding the subject can consume valuable time. A better approach is to identify the roofing topic first and then use the IBC to confirm the applicable requirement.

Timed code-navigation drills can help candidates build speed. Choose a topic such as roof coverings, materials, fire classification, rooftop requirements, structural conditions, or related building-code provisions and practice locating the applicable section within a limited period.

Licensing Steps

1. Confirm the C-15A classification. Make sure Roofing 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-15A 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-15A trade examination. Study steep roofing, substrates, roofing repairs, membrane systems, built-up roofing, flashing, safety, photovoltaic topics, and applicable code requirements.
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 identifies C-15A Roofing as a subclassification within Classification C-15 Roofing and Siding.

The C-15A classification authorizes the installation, application, alteration, and repair of watertight and weatherproof material used on roofs.

Roofing materials within the classification can include 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 classification does not authorize installation of siding or devices used for the internal control of the effects of weather. It also does not authorize installation of conduits, inverters, batteries, or electrical connections associated with photovoltaic systems.

This distinction is important when preparing for the photovoltaic portion of the examination. Roofing contractors may encounter photovoltaic roof products within the roofing scope, while associated electrical installation work requires the appropriate electrical authorization.

The C-15A trade examination is one part of Nevada contractor licensing. 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 roofing assemblies, roof coverings, materials, structural conditions, rooftop requirements, fire classification, definitions, tables, and other building-code provisions relevant to roofing 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-15A Roofing Contractor Highlighted & Tabbed Books Allowed into Exam Package. Candidates should use it regularly during preparation to become more familiar with roofing-related chapters, definitions, tables, requirements, exceptions, and related code provisions.

This package is intentionally focused on the highlighted and tabbed book allowed into the Nevada C-15A trade examination. Supplemental technical roofing manuals, OSHA materials, estimating books, photovoltaic guidelines, and carpentry references are not included.

Test Information and Study Materials

A strong Nevada C-15A study plan should begin with Steep Roofing, the largest exam category. Candidates should review steep-slope roof coverings, underlayments, roof decks, fastening, flashing, valleys, slopes, drainage, roof edges, transitions, and common installation conditions.

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

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

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

Roofing Repairs should be approached as a diagnostic subject. Candidates should understand how to recognize damaged roof coverings, failed flashing, deteriorated membranes, substrate problems, potential leak sources, and other conditions that can affect roof performance.

Sheet Metal and Flashing may represent only 2 questions, but flashing is fundamental to weatherproof roofing. Review valleys, roof-to-wall intersections, penetrations, edges, curbs, and transitions where water must be directed away from vulnerable parts of the roof.

Photovoltaic Systems should be reviewed from the roofing perspective. Candidates should understand how photovoltaic roof products can interact with roofing systems and where the C-15A roofing scope ends when electrical components are involved.

Safety deserves serious attention because roofing frequently involves working at elevation. Candidates should understand fall hazards, safe access, ladders, scaffolds, tools, material handling, and general jobsite safety concepts.

The International Building Code, 2018 should be used during every study session. The highlighted and tabbed format can help candidates return to important roofing-related code material efficiently while building familiarity with the overall organization of the book.

Begin with the table of contents and index. Identify roofing-related topics and practice moving from a keyword to the applicable section. This can be especially helpful when a question does not immediately reveal which chapter or provision applies.

Definitions should also be reviewed carefully. Building-code terminology can affect how a roofing question is interpreted, and understanding the correct definition can help candidates identify the right code section more quickly.

When using the IBC, candidates should avoid stopping at the first phrase that appears relevant. Read enough surrounding material to understand the full requirement, including exceptions, subsections, tables, and cross-references.

A useful study exercise is to choose a roofing topic such as roof coverings, fire classification, rooftop requirements, materials, structural conditions, or roof assemblies and locate the applicable code provision under a time limit.

Repeat the process until navigation becomes more natural. The goal is not to memorize every code section number, but to understand the organization of the IBC well enough to locate requirements efficiently during the examination.

Practice questions should initially be organized by subject. Work separately on steep roofing, substrates, built-up roofing, elastomeric roofing, repairs, flashing, safety, and photovoltaic topics. This makes it easier to identify areas that need additional study.

Once the individual categories become more familiar, move into mixed practice. The actual exam can shift quickly from one roofing subject to another, so candidates should become comfortable switching between roof systems and code topics without losing pace.

Time management should be included in every practice session. With 50 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 highlighted and tabbed International Building Code for targeted confirmation, mark difficult questions, and return to them after completing the easier items.

Highlighted sections and tabs can help candidates move through the reference more efficiently, but successful use depends on repeated practice. Candidates should know not only where a tab is located, but also why the corresponding code section applies to the subject being tested.
