Roof Repair in Memphis, Tennessee

A repair is the job most likely to fall under every threshold: usually no permit, and under $3,000 no licence anywhere in Tennessee. That makes the checks you do yourself matter more, not less.

Permits for a roof repair in Memphis

Shelby County's roofing policy says: "A permit is not required for a residential roof repair unless decking is damaged." New sheathing, or repair to sheathing, does need one.

Licensing for a repair

Under $3,000, no state licence is required in any county. Over $3,000 in Shelby County the roofer needs a Home Improvement or contractor licence, which covers most repairs that involve decking or a whole slope. Ask for the certificate of insurance and call the agent named on it; a fall from your roof by an uninsured crew is your problem.
