The numbers

The Hampton home-services market

Hampton has about 1,883 residents.

522
Owner-occupied homes

About 59% of Hampton's housing is owner-occupied. Owners are the ones who pay for their own roofs, paint and HVAC — they're who a referral program reaches.

1979
Median year built

The typical Hampton home is around 47 years old. Housing stock ages on a predictable cycle, and roofs, systems and exteriors come due in waves rather than all at once.

$98,200
Median home value

What homes are worth shapes what owners will spend maintaining them.

$39,028
Median household income

The place

About Hampton.

Hampton sits in Carter County a few miles southeast of Elizabethton, with U.S. Routes 321 and 19E carrying most local traffic south of town and Tennessee State Route 67 tying the drive back toward Interstate 26 at Exit 24. For a residential team, the shape of the place matters: houses are concentrated in the broad Doe River valley, where the Little Doe River comes in from the southwest and Laurel Fork comes in from the east, with Jenkins Mountain, the Iron Mountains, Pond Mountain, and Cedar Mountain enclosing the community.

The old layout goes back to Elijah Simerly, the East Tennessee and Western North Carolina Railroad president who established Hampton in the late 1860s and named it for Mary Hampton. His Italianate house still stands at Main Street and 1st Avenue as the Butler Mansion, and Hampton’s historic district includes other older homes. The railroad story is still visible around Doe River Gorge, where a narrow-gauge railroad runs on former East Tennessee and Western North Carolina Railroad roadbed, while Cherokee National Forest, the Appalachian Trail, Dennis Cove, Laurel Fork, and Watauga Lake keep Hampton tied to the mountain traffic east of town.

Tennessee licensing

Know your license before you bid.

Tennessee requires a contractor's license before you bid or quote a price on any job totaling $25,000 or more, materials and labor together. That applies to the contractor running the job, and separately to electrical, mechanical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing and masonry work whose own share reaches $25,000. The license has to be in hand before the bid goes out, not before the work starts.

Below that, Carter County has not adopted Tennessee's Home Improvement law, so there is no separate Home Improvement license for residential jobs under $25,000 in Hampton. Nine counties did adopt it — Davidson, Rutherford and Robertson among them — so a job across the county line can carry a requirement this one does not.

Licensing rules are set by the Tennessee Board for Licensing Contractors, not by LeadChuck. Verified 2026-07-30; confirm with the Board before you rely on it.

Straight answers

Questions from Hampton contractors.

Does it cost anything to get listed in Hampton?

No. Your public listing is free, and it stays free. You only ever pay when you accept a lead another contractor sends you.

How do leads work in Hampton?

Contractors send jobs they can't take to someone who can. The contractor sending the job picks who to send it to based on the lead fee that contractor has posted, so you're never bidding against anyone. You see the job before you decide, and you pay only if you accept it. Payment is by bank transfer — we don't take card payments.

What is the referral program?

Every past customer gets a permanent referral link. When they refer a friend and confirm it, that customer gets a thank-you gift card — you choose the amount — and it's unconditional: they get it whether or not the friend ever books a job. The friend never sees the gift card; they just arrive as a warm introduction.
