In Knoxville, the license a roofer needs depends on the size of the job. Knox County is one of nine Tennessee counties that require a state Home Improvement license for residential remodeling from $3,000 to less than $25,000, and roofing is covered work. Jobs of $25,000 or more need a state contractor license. When the homeowner's insurance is expected to pay, Tennessee Code §§ 62-6-602 and 62-6-603, from Public Chapter 821 effective July 1, 2012, require the contract to include the contractor's address, phone, email, and license number, and a detailed description of the repairs. If the insurer then says the claim is not a covered loss, the homeowner can cancel by written notice before midnight on the third business day after that notice. The city still controls the permit, so ask which license number will be on it. This page shows which Knoxville roofers AI assistants named most often across answers RecommendRadar ran and stored, how often each appeared, and the sources those answers cited.
