Licensing and rules
Tennessee licenses contractors through the Board for Licensing Contractors in the Department of Commerce and Insurance. A contractor's license is generally required for projects of $25,000 or more. Plumbing, electrical and HVAC work between $3,000 and $25,000 needs a limited license, and residential home-improvement work in some counties needs a separate home-improvement license.
Many cities and counties also license electricians, plumbers and gas installers locally. Verify any Tennessee contractor with the state's license search before you hire.
Hiring here: common questions
How do I check that a contractor here is licensed?
Most states license trades like roofing, HVAC, plumbing and electrical work through a state board. Where a business gave us its license number, it is on its profile. Look that number up on the state board's website before you hire. Businesses with our trust badge had their license and insurance checked by a person, on the date shown.
How do I get quotes from local pros?
