Checking a Tennessee license: licensed contractors carry a number you can verify with the Tennessee Board for Licensing Contractors. Ask for a certificate of insurance sent directly from the insurer, never a photocopy. Walk away from anyone asking for a large cash deposit up front or pressuring you to skip a permit.
