What the Delaware data shows for Roofers

Delaware's path to roofer licensure runs through board-approved instruction and a passing score on a state-approved exam. Delaware folds the credential into its broader occupational licensing statute, which classifies the training track as "Experience/Apprenticeship".

Upfront cost is $150 on a 2-year cycle. Delaware doesn't require continuing education for this license, so upkeep costs stay confined to the renewal fee itself.

Delaware evaluates out-of-state credentials case-by-case rather than through a published reciprocity list.
