Roof Repair in Johnson City, 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 Johnson City
We have not found Johnson City's rule for roof repairs stated on the building department's own page, so nothing is asserted here.
Licensing for a repair
Under $3,000, no state licence is required in any county. Washington County requires none until a job reaches $25,000, so for a repair the licence is a plus rather than a legal floor. 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.

Listed from each company's own Google Business Profile. We found no Tennessee licence under these exact names, and in Washington County none is required for a job under $25,000, so that is not a mark against them. For a roof quoted at $25,000 or more, ask for the contractor licence number and check it.
