The numbers

The Livingston home-services market

Livingston has about 3,999 residents, up about 2% since 2020.

909
Owner-occupied homes

About 50% of Livingston'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.

1972
Median year built

The typical Livingston home is around 54 years old. Housing stock ages on a predictable cycle, and roofs, systems and exteriors come due in waves rather than all at once.

The place

About Livingston.

Livingston’s layout starts with its 1833 turn as Overton County’s seat: the town site was bought on August 10, 1833, when forty acres changed hands for two hundred dollars, and a close, disputed county vote moved the seat from Monroe to the new town named for Edward Livingston, Andrew Jackson’s secretary of state. That courthouse role still gives the center of town its identity, with the Overton County Courthouse on the National Register of Historic Places alongside the American Legion Hut and Gov. Albert H. Roberts Law Office. For residential contractors, Livingston is the county-seat town north by northeast of Cookeville, not just another stop in the Cookeville micropolitan area.

House work in Livingston has to fit the town’s own weather and grade changes. Elevation runs from 1,027 feet to 1,700 feet, and the climate is humid subtropical, with mild winters and hot, humid summers; Southern Magnolia, occasional Needle Palm, Camellia, and Bananas can grow here even while they struggle farther north. Livingston Academy, A.H. Roberts Elementary School, and the Tennessee College of Applied Technology branch help keep daily life centered in town, while Overton County’s courthouse history still explains why Livingston functions as the local hub.

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

Does it cost anything to get listed in Livingston?

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 Livingston?

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.
