New Hampshire sets the entry bar for roofers at board-approved training and a passing score on a state-approved exam. The credential is administered under New Hampshire's licensing regime, which classifies the training track as "Experience/Apprenticeship".

Budget $150 to get started on a 2-year cycle. There's no continuing-education mandate tied to this profession in New Hampshire, which keeps the long-run cost of staying licensed lighter than in CE-heavy states.

New Hampshire handles out-of-state credentials on a case-by-case basis instead of a standing reciprocity list.
