Under TCA 62-6, which of the following activities does NOT require a contractor's license in Tennessee?
Correct Answer
C) $20,000 kitchen cabinet installation
Kitchen cabinet installation valued at $20,000 falls below the $25,000 licensing threshold in TCA 62-6-103.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
The $20,000 kitchen cabinet installation falls below Tennessee's $25,000 licensing threshold under TCA 62-6-103. Projects under $25,000 do not require a contractor's license, making this the exempt activity.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: Installing a $30,000 HVAC system
Installing a $30,000 HVAC system exceeds the $25,000 threshold and is a trade-specific activity that requires licensure. At $30,000, a license is required.
Option B: $35,000 roof replacement
A $35,000 roof replacement clearly exceeds the $25,000 threshold. This requires a contractor's license under TCA 62-6.
Option D: Building a $40,000 deck addition
Building a $40,000 deck addition far exceeds the $25,000 threshold and requires a contractor's license. Structural additions always require licensing when they meet or exceed the monetary limit.
Memory Technique
Tennessee's magic number is $25,000. Think: '$25K = License Key.' Below $25K, no key needed. The $20,000 cabinet job is $5,000 below the key — no license required.
