What the Missouri data shows for Roofers

Missouri's path to roofer licensure runs through board-approved instruction and a passing score on a state-approved exam. Missouri 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. There's no continuing-education mandate tied to this profession in Missouri, which keeps the long-run cost of staying licensed lighter than in CE-heavy states.

There's no published reciprocity list here - Missouri reviews out-of-state credentials individually.
