Every roofer we send holds an active Tennessee license. To check any other company, use the state's Verify a License search and look for the word Active. A job of $25,000 or more needs a contractor license (Board for Licensing Contractors).

Get three quotes
The state's tips say to get several bids and check references (TN Attorney General and TDCI). Ask all three roofers to price the same thing: tear-off, decking, underlayment, flashing, the permit, cleanup and the warranty.
A cheap quote often leaves out decking and the permit fee. Decking runs $80 to $150 a sheet at published Nashville rates (price guide). Add it back, and the cheapest quote may not be. See local prices on the roof replacement page.
What the contract must say
A contract should list start and finish dates, payment terms, materials, labor, change orders and warranty (TN Attorney General and TDCI). Keep a signed copy.
- A deposit of one third or less, with the rest tied to the work.
- The roofer pulls the permit, not you.
- Proof of liability and workers' comp insurance with a current date.
Storm chasers
After a storm, crews from out of town sell repairs door to door. The state insurance department warns they often hire unlicensed workers (TDCI storm tips).
Write down the license plate and driver's license of anyone you hire. Never pay cash, and never sign over your insurance check. Before a claim, read the roof inspection page and the license lookup steps.
Roofing questions, answered
What are some reputable roofing companies in Nashville, TN?
Start with companies that hold an active state license and have held it for years. The table on this page lists them from the state's records. Then ask each one for three local references.
Should I hire the roofer who knocked on my door?
Be careful. The state warns that door-to-door storm roofers often hire unlicensed help. Ask for the license number and look it up before you sign anything.
How much should I pay up front?
No more than one third of the contract amount. Tennessee law caps the down payment on home improvement jobs. Pay the rest as the work is done.
What if a roofer does bad work?
Call us and we get a licensed roofer to look at it. Licensed roofers answer to the state's Board for Licensing Contractors.
Skip the door-knockers. Call first.
After a storm, out-of-town crews knock on doors and push for quick signatures. Call before you sign anything.
