Roofing in Tennessee: What You Need to Know

Tennessee roofs face a mix of severe thunderstorms with hail and tornadoes in the spring, hot and humid summers that promote algae growth, and occasional ice storms in winter. West Tennessee is in a higher tornado risk zone, while East Tennessee in the Smokies gets heavier snow.

Tennessee requires roofing contractors to hold a license from the Tennessee Board for Licensing Contractors for projects over $25,000. Smaller projects may require a home improvement license.
