35 Roofing Companies in Knoxville, Tennessee

Of the 17 companies we track in Knoxville, 3 have an active contractor license located in public records, 9 are registered business entities, and 10 operate from a commercial rather than residential address. Tennessee issues roofing-contractor licensing at the state level, so an active state license is the baseline credential to confirm before hiring. A company not appearing with a license here isn’t proof it’s unlicensed - some jurisdictions don’t publish - so verify directly, and always confirm liability and workers’ comp insurance before work starts.

The roofers we track in Knoxville have been in business a median of 5 years, by their state formation date. The longest-operating is US Commercial Roofing, in business since 2011 (15 years); 0 were formed less than two years ago. A verifiable formation date and registered agent on file is one of the clearest lines between an established local company and a transient operator.

Knox County has recorded 191 significant storm events in the past decade, including hail up to 1.75" and wind gusts to 72 mph, so storm-driven roof damage is common here. After big storms, be wary of out-of-area crews who show up unsolicited, pressure you to sign immediately, or ask you to sign over your insurance claim. 17 of the roofers we track are based in Knoxville itself, alongside 18 that service it from nearby - favor an established local firm you can verify over a crew that appeared after the hail.

12 of the 17 roofers we track in Knoxville hold at least one manufacturer certification (GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed, TAMKO, IKO, Malarkey). The most common here is Owens Corning, held by 5 companies - versus 63% certified across Tennessee. Certification means the manufacturer vetted the contractor and lets them back your roof with stronger, longer material-and-labor warranties. Not required to install a roof, but a real signal of training and standing.

Across the 17 companies we track in Knoxville, the average rating is 4.9★, combining Google, BBB, and Yelp. 15 appear on more than one platform and 3 have owners who actively respond to reviews.
