The state division that oversees boards regulating professions and businesses, with tools to look up professionals.
The Division of Regulatory Boards in the Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance oversees boards and commissions that regulate many professions and businesses. Its website explains that people can look up and verify the status of professionals. When you hire for a remodel, it is a good habit to check what the state requires for the people who will do the work, such as contractors, and to verify them yourself.
We are an independent firm and are not part of the state. We encourage you to use the official lookup tools when you hire any contractor or professional, and we are glad to explain which trades and roles typically appear on an interior project. We prepare the design information, and your contractor and tradespeople handle construction, so checking their status is a smart step. We can also share what we ask contractors before we work together.
