For projects exceeding $25,000, a state license from the Tennessee Board for Licensing Contractors is mandatory, while smaller projects require local business registration and adherence to city codes.
All roofing work requires a permit from the Memphis and Shelby County Office of Construction Code Enforcement. Contractors are responsible for ensuring that all materials and installation methods comply with the adopted International Building Code standards, specifically regarding wind resistance and fire safety. Failure to secure proper permits or maintain required insurance can lead to stop-work orders and significant fines.
