Preparation should include steep-slope roofing, membrane systems, metal roofing, spray polyurethane foam roofing, substrates, flashing, repairs, safety, estimating, and photovoltaic-related roofing concepts. The package price is **$1,535** plus a **$750 refundable deposit**, for a total of **$2,285**. The rental package also includes the **Construction Business and Law Manual for Nevada** to support preparation for the business and law side of contractor licensing. **Please allow up to 15 business days for book & course rental package orders.** ## What You Get - **Included Rental Book:** International Building Code, 2018 - **Included Rental Book:** NRCA Roofing Manual: Steep Slope Roof Systems, 2025 - **Included Rental Book:** NRCA Roofing Manual: Metal Panel and SPF Roof Systems, 2024 - **Included Rental Book:** NRCA Roofing Manual: Membrane Roofing Systems - **Included Rental Book:** Code of Federal Regulations - 29 CFR Part 1926 (OSHA) - **Included Rental Book:** Roofing Construction and Estimating, Daniel Atcheson, 1995 - **Included Rental Book:** NRCA Guidelines for Roof Systems with Rooftop Photovoltaic Components, 2018 - **Included Rental Book:** Carpentry and Building Construction, 2016 - **Included Rental Book:** Construction Business and Law Manual for Nevada - **Course Access:** 6 months of course access. - **Highlighted & Tabbed Books:** All books included in this rental package are highlighted and tabbed. - **Package Price:** $1,535 plus a $750 refundable deposit, for a total of $2,285. ## 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 - **Sheet Metal and Flashing:** 2 questions - **Photovoltaic Systems:** 2 questions **Steep Roofing** is the largest exam category with 17 questions. Candidates should devote substantial study time to roof coverings, underlayments, roof decks, fastening, slopes, flashing, valleys, drainage, roof edges, and installation practices. **Roofing Substrates** and **Built-up Bituminous Roofing** each account for 7 questions. Candidates should understand deck conditions, sheathing, structural support, surface preparation, bituminous materials, surfacing, low-slope roof construction, and repair considerations. **Elastomeric Roofing** accounts for 6 questions, while **Safety** accounts for 5. Roofing Repairs accounts for 4 questions. Sheet Metal and Flashing and Photovoltaic Systems each account for 2 questions. The exam requires broad roofing knowledge, so a balanced preparation plan should include both steep- and low-slope systems, structural and substrate concepts, field safety, repair methods, flashing, estimating, and photovoltaic roofing considerations. ## Open Book Test The Nevada C-15A Roofing Contractor examination is an **open-book test**. The following reference included in this package is allowed into the trade examination: - **International Building Code, 2018** The following technical references are included for study but are **not allowed into the C-15A trade examination room**: - **NRCA Roofing Manual: Steep Slope Roof Systems, 2025** - **NRCA Roofing Manual: Metal Panel and SPF Roof Systems, 2024** - **NRCA Roofing Manual: Membrane Roofing Systems** - **Code of Federal Regulations - 29 CFR Part 1926 (OSHA)** - **Roofing Construction and Estimating, Daniel Atcheson, 1995** - **NRCA Guidelines for Roof Systems with Rooftop Photovoltaic Components, 2018** - **Carpentry and Building Construction, 2016** Because only the International Building Code is available from this package during the trade examination, candidates should use the supplemental books to build technical knowledge before test day. The goal is to understand roofing concepts well enough to answer many questions from knowledge and then use the IBC strategically when a code requirement needs to be confirmed. With 50 questions in two hours, candidates have a little more than two minutes per question on average. Searching the code without knowing where to begin can use valuable exam time. Candidates should practice identifying the subject first, then navigating to the most likely chapter, section, table, or definition. The highlighted and tabbed format can support this process by helping candidates return to frequently reviewed material more efficiently. Repeated use during study can make the reference structure feel more familiar before the examination. ## Licensing Steps 1. **Confirm the C-15A classification.** Make sure Roofing matches the type of 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, membrane systems, repairs, flashing, safety, photovoltaic roofing concepts, and applicable building-code requirements. 7. **Practice IBC navigation.** Use the highlighted and tabbed International Building Code, 2018 throughout preparation. 8. **Prepare for Nevada Business and Law.** Use the included Construction Business and Law Manual for Nevada as part of business exam preparation. 9. **Complete the required examinations.** Take the applicable trade and business examinations. 10. **Complete remaining licensing requirements.** Finish the additional 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. The distinction is important when preparing for the photovoltaic portion of the examination. Roofing contractors may encounter photovoltaic roofing components within the roofing scope, while associated electrical installation work remains outside the C-15A classification. 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 - **Included Rental Book: International Building Code, 2018** The highlighted and tabbed exam-room 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. - **Included Rental Book: NRCA Roofing Manual: Steep Slope Roof Systems, 2025** The highlighted and tabbed study reference supports steep-slope roofing preparation involving roof coverings, components, flashing, underlayments, materials, application practices, and system performance. - **Included Rental Book: NRCA Roofing Manual: Metal Panel and SPF Roof Systems, 2024** The highlighted and tabbed study reference supports preparation involving metal panel roofing and spray polyurethane foam roofing systems, including components, installation concepts, and roofing practices. - **Included Rental Book: NRCA Roofing Manual: Membrane Roofing Systems** The highlighted and tabbed study reference supports membrane and low-slope roofing preparation, including materials, system components, installation considerations, maintenance, and repair concepts. - **Included Rental Book: Code of Federal Regulations - 29 CFR Part 1926 (OSHA)** The highlighted and tabbed study reference supports construction safety preparation involving fall protection, ladders, scaffolds, personal protective equipment, tools, material handling, and roofing jobsite hazards. - **Included Rental Book: Roofing Construction and Estimating, Daniel Atcheson, 1995** The highlighted and tabbed study reference supports roofing construction methods, roof geometry, measurements, quantities, materials, estimating, and practical roofing knowledge. - **Included Rental Book: NRCA Guidelines for Roof Systems with Rooftop Photovoltaic Components, 2018** The highlighted and tabbed study reference supports preparation involving the relationship between roof systems and rooftop photovoltaic components. - **Included Rental Book: Carpentry and Building Construction, 2016** The highlighted and tabbed study reference supports roof framing, sheathing, substrates, structural components, carpentry terminology, and general building construction principles relevant to roofing. - **Included Rental Book: Construction Business and Law Manual for Nevada** The highlighted and tabbed reference supports preparation involving Nevada contractor business practices, licensing responsibilities, contracts, management, and related business and law topics. ## Exam Room Approved Books - **International Building Code, 2018** International Building Code, 2018 is the exam-room-approved reference included with the Nevada C-15A Roofing Contractor Books & Courses Rental Package. Candidates should use it regularly during preparation to improve familiarity with roofing-related chapters, definitions, tables, requirements, exceptions, and related code provisions. ## Test Information and Study Materials A strong Nevada C-15A preparation plan should begin with **Steep Roofing**, the largest exam category. Study roof coverings, slopes, underlayments, fastening, roof decks, valleys, edges, flashing, drainage, and installation practices. **Roofing Substrates** should include deck and sheathing conditions, surface preparation, structural support, deterioration, moisture, attachment, and compatibility between the substrate and the roof system installed above it. **Built-up Bituminous Roofing** should include low-slope roof components, bituminous materials, surfacing, membranes, flashing, application concepts, and repair considerations. **Elastomeric Roofing** should include membrane materials, seams, attachment, penetrations, flashing, roof edges, drainage, and repair conditions. **Roofing Repairs** should be studied as a diagnostic subject. Candidates should understand common leak sources, deteriorated materials, failed flashing, damaged membranes, substrate problems, and other conditions that affect roof performance. **Sheet Metal and Flashing** represents a smaller exam category but remains fundamental to weatherproof roofing. Review valleys, penetrations, roof-to-wall intersections, edges, curbs, transitions, and other areas where flashing directs water away from vulnerable parts of the roof. **Photovoltaic Systems** should be reviewed from the roofing perspective. Candidates should understand roofing considerations associated with rooftop photovoltaic components and the boundary between roofing work and electrical work. **Safety** deserves serious attention because roofing work often occurs at elevation. Study fall protection, access, ladders, scaffolds, tools, personal protective equipment, material handling, and other common construction hazards. The **International Building Code, 2018** should be used regularly throughout the six-month course access period. Practice locating roofing provisions with the table of contents and index, then read related sections, definitions, tables, and exceptions. The highlighted and tabbed format can support more efficient review. Candidates should still learn the overall structure of the IBC so they understand why a particular chapter or section applies rather than relying only on visual markers. The NRCA roofing manuals can be used to compare multiple roof systems. Understanding the differences between steep-slope, membrane, metal panel, and SPF roofing can make exam questions easier to interpret. **Roofing Construction and Estimating** can help reinforce measurement, quantities, roof geometry, materials, and estimating concepts. Candidates should practice working through common roofing calculations and material relationships without depending entirely on the reference. The carpentry book supports understanding of roof framing, sheathing, structural components, and the building systems beneath the finished roof covering. These concepts are especially useful when studying substrates and roof construction. ## More on test Information and Study Materials The photovoltaic guidelines can help candidates understand how rooftop photovoltaic components interact with roofing systems, flashing, waterproofing, access, and roof performance. Because most of the technical references are not allowed into the trade examination, candidates should gradually move from book-supported review to retained knowledge. Study a topic, close the book, and then answer practice questions without immediately looking up the answer. For the International Building Code, use timed lookup practice. Choose a roofing subject, identify the likely code location, find the relevant provision, and repeat until navigation becomes faster and more natural. The included **6 months of course access** can be used alongside the highlighted and tabbed rental books to organize trade review, practice exam-oriented material, strengthen code-navigation skills, and maintain a consistent study routine. The **Construction Business and Law Manual for Nevada** can be studied separately from the roofing materials so candidates keep licensing, management, business, and contract topics organized apart from the technical trade exam. Mixed practice should be added as preparation progresses. The actual exam can move quickly from steep roofing to safety, substrates, membrane systems, repairs, flashing, or photovoltaic topics. Time management should also be part of preparation. With 50 questions in two hours, candidates should avoid spending too long on one difficult lookup while easier questions remain unanswered. **Please allow up to 15 business days for book & course rental package orders.** ## How Pass Your Nevada Contractor Exam Helps You Reach Your Goal Pass Your Nevada Contractor Exam supports Nevada C-15A Roofing Contractor candidates through organized study guidance, trade-focused review, practice-oriented preparation, reference navigation, and confidence-building study structure. The Books & Courses Rental Package combines highlighted and tabbed roofing references, the Construction Business and Law Manual for Nevada, and **6 months of course access** in one coordinated rental option. Pass Your Nevada Contractor Exam encourages candidates to use the International Building Code throughout preparation so roofing-related sections, definitions, tables, and exceptions become more familiar before the open-book examination. The supplemental roofing references provide technical depth in steep-slope systems, membrane roofing, metal and SPF roofing, safety, estimating, photovoltaic components, substrates, and carpentry. Because those books are not available during the trade examination, they can be used to build retained trade knowledge before test day. Practice-oriented preparation can help identify whether a missed question comes from weak roofing knowledge, slow code navigation, safety gaps, estimating difficulty, confusion about substrates, or unfamiliarity with specific roof systems. The goal is to help candidates approach the Nevada C-15A Roofing Contractor examination with stronger roofing knowledge, more efficient code-navigation skills, improved understanding of multiple roof systems, and a structured study routine without guaranteeing a passing score or licensing approval. ### How many questions are on the Nevada C-15A exam?
