Licenses and permits in Tennessee
Tennessee licenses contractors through the Board for Licensing Contractors for larger jobs, and some counties require a home improvement license. Plumbers and electricians may need state or local licenses.
Permits for repairs are issued by your city or county, not by Sifixit. Always ask for the license or registration number and proof of insurance before work starts, and get the scope and price in writing.
Home insurance notes for Tennessee
Standard homeowners policies do not cover flooding from outside water; that needs separate flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program or a private insurer.
Take photos before any cleanup, keep receipts, and call your insurer early. Our water damage insurance claims guide explains the steps.
