168 Roofing Companies in Arizona: Public Records & Data

In Arizona, roofing contractors must be licensed through the Arizona Registrar of Contractors (ROC) before performing any roofing work. Roofing falls under the residential and commercial contractor classifications, most commonly the CR-42 license for roofing contractors. To obtain a license, applicants must submit a completed application, pay the required fees, pass a trade knowledge examination, and demonstrate financial responsibility. Applicants must also provide proof of a surety bond and meet insurance requirements, including general liability and workers' compensation coverage if they have employees.

The application process requires applicants to be at least 18 years old, have a valid Social Security number or tax identification number, and designate a Qualifying Party who passes the required exams. The Qualifying Party must pass both a trade exam specific to the roofing classification and a business management exam. License fees vary depending on the classification and entity type, but initial licensing fees are generally in the range of a few hundred dollars, with renewal required every two years. The surety bond amount is typically set at $5,000 for residential contractors, though commercial classifications may require higher bond amounts.

Arizona does not generally allow individual cities or counties to impose additional contractor licensing requirements on top of the state license, though local jurisdictions may require business licenses and building permits for specific projects. Contractors must ensure all work complies with the Arizona Building Code and local amendments adopted by the jurisdiction where the work is performed. Failure to maintain a valid ROC license while performing contracting work can result in civil penalties and disciplinary action, including license suspension or revocation.
