On regulated construction sites (governed by Act R-20), roofers must hold a CCQ competency certificate. The roofer apprenticeship through the CCQ consists of two periods of 2,000 hours each (4,000 hours total, approximately 2 years). For residential renovation work not covered by Act R-20, individual workers do not need a specific licence, but the contractor must still hold an RBQ licence. Building permits may be required for full roof replacements depending on the municipality.
