Did you know that Sioux Falls Requires testing but some are grandfathered in and never tested at all.  About ~95% of the General Contractors take an ICC based test and Pass? Yes Pass, then they have to update and re-certify every 3 years. If you miss 1 year, you have to take the whole test all over again, and it is not easy!!!!

• What if my contractor never took the test but has been in business a long time like 30 years and claims a license? 

Time is not a qualification in Building Codes, Compliance is. 

Many times these contractors are fronts for out of town companies.  My personal experience opened my eyes by many of the oldest roofers in sioux falls that never retired, they just simply refused, even with no employees or staff, or never taking a real test to make sure they were doing it right.  

• Testing Requirements In Sioux Falls, you need a license to put on a roof. 

However, some contractors with a licensed have never taken a test.  This is due to a grandfather clause, most are not aware of new codes or even the older replaced codes.  Make Sure They pass the test.
