How to verify a roofer in Tennessee
State contractor license. Five checks to make before you sign.
What Tennessee requires
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.
Where to look a contractor up: Tennessee license lookup (verify.tn.gov) (official source, opens the state’s own search).
Five checks before you sign
- Ask for the license or registration number and look it up in the registry above. Match the exact business name, check that the status is active and read the expiration date.
- Ask for a current certificate of insurance (general liability and workers’ compensation) sent to you directly by the insurer or agent. PickARoofer does not verify insurance.
- Get a written contract with the scope, materials, total price, start date and warranty terms. Do not sign a blank or partly filled form.
- Check the permit. Ask who pulls it and confirm with your city or county building department that it was issued.
- Be careful with large deposits and door-to-door offers after a storm. Read how to avoid storm-chaser scams.
