What the South Carolina data shows for Roofers

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

Budget $150 to get started on a 2-year cycle. Continuing education is not a listed requirement for this profession in South Carolina, so the annualized maintenance burden is lower than in states that mandate ongoing hours.

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