The place

About La Follette.

LaFollette sits in Powell Valley at Big Creek Gap, with Cumberland Mountain rising to the north and Norris Lake dominating the area to the south. The town’s shape goes back to Harvey and Grant LaFollette, who bought 37,000 acres around 1890 and formed the LaFollette Coal, Iron, and Railway Company; even after that business failed in the 1920s, the community kept growing around the gap. Downtown has its own hard reset in local memory: a 1904 fire that began in the Cumberland Inn burned most of the business district.

For residential contractors, LaFollette is a corridor town as much as a valley town. U.S. Route 25W runs with State Routes 9 and 63 through the community, Jacksboro sits directly southwest, and Interstate 75 is reached beyond Jacksboro. The terrain matters house by house, with valley areas around 1,050 feet and ridge tops around 1,500 feet, so a roofing or exterior team can move from lower Powell Valley streets to steeper ridge settings in the same day. Tennessee Avenue also marks the north-end access to a leg of the Cumberland Trail.

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, Campbell County has not adopted Tennessee's Home Improvement law, so there is no separate Home Improvement license for residential jobs under $25,000 in La Follette. 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 La Follette contractors.

Does it cost anything to get listed in La Follette?

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 La Follette?

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.
