In Nashville, the license a roofer needs depends on the size of the job. Davidson County is one of nine Tennessee counties that require a state Home Improvement license for residential remodeling projects from $3,000 to $24,999, and roofing is listed as covered work. Jobs of $25,000 or more need a full state contractor license. Metro Nashville adds its own check. To pull a building permit, a contractor must post a permit bond on Metro's form, $10,000 for contracts under $25,000 and $40,000 for larger ones, in the same name as the state license.
