How to check Advocate Construction, Inc 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).
- Start the lookup with the license number; use the business name only if the number fails.
- Compare the registry name with the name on the contract, and read the status line.
- Ask for a certificate of insurance sent straight from the insurer. A registry listing does not prove coverage.
- Look at the expiration date and compare it with the dates in your contract.
