Sample WV Remodeling and Repair Contractor Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your WV Remodeling and Repair Contractor exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Under W. Va. Code R. §28-2-3, what is the maximum cost of the undertaking a West Virginia Remodeling and Repair Contractor may perform?
A.USD 40,000 for the entire undertaking, including all labor and materials
B.USD 25,000 for labor only
C.USD 50,000 if the owner supplies the materials
D.USD 75,000 on residential work only
Explanation: Section 28-2-3.29 limits the remodeling-and-repair classification to general remodeling, additions, and repairs to existing structures where the cost of the undertaking does not exceed USD 40,000. Section 28-2-3.36 defines the undertaking as the entire construction project, including the cost of all labor and materials required to accomplish it. The cap is not a labor-only figure and is not raised when the owner buys materials.
2How many board feet are in 10 pieces of 2×8 lumber, each 12 feet long?
A.80 board feet
B.120 board feet
C.160 board feet
D.192 board feet
Explanation: Board feet equal thickness in inches times width in inches times length in feet, divided by 12. For one 2×8×12: (2 × 8 × 12) / 12 = 16 board feet. Ten pieces contain 160 board feet. Nominal dimensions are used for board-foot measure, not dressed size.
3A 16-foot by 20-foot patio slab will be placed 4 inches thick. How many cubic yards of concrete are required, not including waste?
A.2.4 cubic yards
B.3.0 cubic yards
C.5.3 cubic yards
D.4.0 cubic yards
Explanation: Volume in cubic feet is length × width × thickness in feet: 16 × 20 × (4/12) = 106.67 cubic feet. Divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards: 106.67 / 27 = 3.95, which is 4.0 cubic yards for ordering without a waste factor. A 5-inch or 6-inch slab would require substantially more concrete.
4A simple gable roof has a 28-foot by 40-foot plan footprint including overhangs. The pitch is 6:12 (area multiplier 1.118). What is the roof area to the nearest square (100 square feet), before waste?
A.13 squares
B.11 squares
C.16 squares
D.18 squares
Explanation: Plan area is 28 × 40 = 1,120 square feet. Multiply by the 6:12 pitch factor: 1,120 × 1.118 = 1,252 square feet. One roofing square is 100 square feet, so the area is 12.5 squares, which rounds to 13 squares before adding waste. Ordering only the plan area (11.2 squares) leaves the slope uncounted.
5A reroof takeoff shows 14.0 squares of sloped area. Standard three-tab asphalt shingles are packaged three bundles per square. Allowing a 10 percent waste factor for hips, valleys, and cuts, how many bundles should be ordered?
A.42 bundles
B.44 bundles
C.51 bundles
D.47 bundles
Explanation: Apply waste to the measured area first: 14.0 × 1.10 = 15.4 squares. Three bundles per square gives 15.4 × 3 = 46.2 bundles. Order the next whole bundle, 47, so the job is not short after hips, valleys, and starter. Skipping waste yields only 42 bundles.
6A remodeling estimate has USD 22,000 in direct cost. Overhead is 12 percent of direct cost, and profit is 8 percent of the sum of direct cost plus overhead. What is the bid price?
A.USD 23,760
B.USD 26,400
C.USD 29,333
D.USD 26,611
Explanation: Overhead is 0.12 × 22,000 = USD 2,640, so direct plus overhead is USD 24,640. Profit is 0.08 × 24,640 = USD 1,971.20. The bid is 24,640 + 1,971.20 = USD 26,611. Applying both percentages only to direct cost, or stacking them as a single 20 percent markup, does not match the stated method.
7During a kitchen remodel the owner asks to add a pantry that was not in the original contract. What document should record the change in scope, price, and time?
A.A written change order signed by both parties
B.A verbal agreement noted in the daily report only
C.A new building permit with no contract revision
D.An invoice issued after the extra work is finished
Explanation: A change order is a written modification of the original contract that states the added or deleted work, the price adjustment, and any schedule change. Both parties should sign it before the extra work proceeds. Daily reports, permits, and after-the-fact invoices do not by themselves amend the contract.
8A CMU partition is 16 feet long and 8 feet high with no openings. Using 8-inch by 16-inch modular block (1.125 blocks per square foot) and no waste, how many blocks are required?
A.112 blocks
B.128 blocks
C.160 blocks
D.144 blocks
Explanation: Wall area is 16 × 8 = 128 square feet. Modular 8×16 block covers 128 square inches of wall including the mortar joint, which is 1.125 blocks per square foot. 128 × 1.125 = 144 blocks. Counting one block per square foot under-orders the wall.
9A room is 12 feet by 16 feet with 8-foot ceilings. Gypsum board will cover all four walls and the ceiling. Openings are not deducted. Using 4-foot by 8-foot sheets (32 square feet each) and a 10 percent waste factor, how many sheets should be ordered?
A.18 sheets
B.20 sheets
C.28 sheets
D.22 sheets
Explanation: Wall area is 2 × (12 + 16) × 8 = 448 square feet. Ceiling area is 12 × 16 = 192 square feet. Total is 640 square feet, which is exactly 20 sheets before waste. Ten percent waste adds 2 sheets, so 22 sheets should be ordered. Skipping waste leaves the job short after cuts and breaks.
10A West Virginia remodeling-and-repair contractor has a signed contract for USD 36,500 of kitchen work. The owner then signs a change order for a USD 5,200 bay-window addition, bringing the undertaking to USD 41,700. What is the correct licensing action?
A.Proceed, because the original contract was under USD 40,000
B.Proceed, because change orders do not count toward the classification limit
C.Do not perform the combined undertaking under the remodeling-and-repair classification; the entire project now exceeds USD 40,000
D.Proceed if the bay window is billed on a separate invoice dated the following month
Explanation: The classification limit applies to the cost of the undertaking — the entire construction project, including labor and materials — not to each invoice or the first signed number. USD 36,500 + USD 5,200 = USD 41,700, which exceeds USD 40,000. A remodeling-and-repair licensee cannot take that combined project; a broader classification such as residential contractor would be required. Splitting invoices does not change the undertaking.
