How to check Modern Roofing on the Tennessee record
contractor licenses in Tennessee come from the Board for Licensing Contractors, whose license records are public on verify.tn.gov Official lookup: Tennessee license lookup (verify.tn.gov).
- Write down the expiry and make sure it outlasts the job.
- Ask for a certificate of insurance sent straight from the insurer. A registry listing does not prove coverage.
- Match the name, the city and the status. The record should read active or in good standing.
- Search the registry by number, then by name, because spellings differ between sources.
