Shingle Brite Report post Posted January 23, 2015 Hello, I am a new member and new to the roof cleaning business as well. I am very interested in becoming certified. I realize there is an emailed test and a verbal test but I have been using the search button and also reading this site to try to find out what more information on what these tests actually cover. Is there some information available that would make learning the answers to the questions possible? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

garyw Report post Posted October 20, 2015 To become a certified roof cleaner, you must first become a Premium member. ($129.00 annual fee). Then there is a $200.00 (one time certification fee) payable thru Paypal. You will then be emailed a 50 question test which requires a 80% passing grade. I will then arrange a telephone call with you and Chris Tucker who will then ask you approx. 40 more detailed questions covering a wide range of roof cleaning topics. After successful completion, your title will be changed and your info will be entered into the directory listings for your home state.I can be reached for info at 502-773-1730 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Troy Howell Report post Posted August 4, 2016 How will this benefit my company?Just another step to separate you from others (in a positive way), being entered into the directory, you will gain knowledge from it, more credibility, etc. etc. Basically like a college degree in comparison the way I look at it. That's for the test... As for the premium member aspect, there's years and years and years of key information listed right out in front of you to read and learn, that you'll never find anywhere else, which pays for itself. 1 Apple Roof Cleaning (813) 655-8777 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

h2o spray Report post Posted April 6, 2017 Truthfully I really do not care about the diploma,having you (Chris) as an educator is worth more than any piece of paper. Thanks again for offering all of your extremely valuable information! I believe you made roof cleaning what it is today (a valuable service for both contractors and homeowners) but having a few of the stickers would be nice just to show a little pride for the RCIA!
