How to check Roofmasters on the Tennessee record
Tennessee's Board for Licensing Contractors issues contractor licenses, and every one of them can be looked up on the state's public license search Official lookup: Tennessee license lookup (verify.tn.gov).
- Search the registry by number, then by name, because spellings differ between sources.
- Compare the registry name with the name on the contract, and read the status line.
- Request a current certificate of insurance from the insurer; licenses and insurance are checked separately.
- An expiry before your finish date is a reason to ask questions.
