Questions every Nashville homeowner should ask
Ask the same set of questions to every remodeler so the answers are comparable. The questions below cover licensing, scope, and warranty, the three areas where Greater Nashville quotes most often diverge.
- What's your Tennessee state contractor license number and classification (BC-A Residential Limited, BC Building Contractor)?
- Who's the licensed plumber on the job, and what's their TN license number?
- Who pulls the permit with Metro Codes (Nashville-Davidson), and what inspections does this project trigger?
- Is the price fixed or an allowance? What's the change-order process?
- What waterproofing system (for tile) or subfloor (for LVP) are you using, and who manufactures it?
- What's the warranty on labor, on the flooring type, and on the plumbing work, and is it transferable?
- How do you handle subfloor / joist damage if you find it during demo?
- What's the realistic timeline, start to finish, and how many crews work the job?
- Do you protect the rest of the house during demo (floor covering, dust containment)?
- Who's my point of contact for day-to-day questions?

Frequently asked questions
How many quotes should I get?+
Two to three is the sweet spot for most Greater Nashville flooring installation. One quote isn't enough to know if the price and scope are reasonable; more than three usually slows the decision without adding clarity. Make sure every quote covers the same scope so you're comparing apples to apples, that's the single biggest reason flooring installation quotes look wildly different.
