- 1). Train first to become a roofer by enrolling in an apprenticeship program or construction training course. You will need to obtain the certification that makes you eligible to take the licensing exam. Although an extensive knowledge of roofing is required to pass the exam, a college degree isn't necessary.
- 2). Visit your state's Licensing Board or Department of Regulation to obtain the application forms for a roofing license. Some questions on the form require your personal information, while others require detailed answers about the specific roofing services you wish to provide.
- 3). Consult your local licensing board about how to post bond for your license. Some states require up to a $10,000 bond, so you will need to inquire about this detail to prepare the money beforehand.
- 4). Take the licensing exam, which in most states involves 50 questions on roofing. The exam covers the process of roofing as well as the technical aspects of the trade.
- 5). Wait for your tests results and allow at least one week for your license to arrive if you've passed the exam. The license will be valid for two years before you need to renew it by repeating the examination process.
