McDonald has about 712 residents.
About 100% of McDonald'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.
The typical McDonald home is around 70 years old. Housing stock ages on a predictable cycle, and roofs, systems and exteriors come due in waves rather than all at once.
What homes are worth shapes what owners will spend maintaining them.
Household income is the other half of that picture — together they tell you which jobs a market actually supports.
Figures from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey 2024 5-year estimates and Population Estimates Program.
McDonald sits on U.S. Route 11 and U.S. Route 64 in Bradley County, 6.8 miles west-southwest of Cleveland, with local addresses using the 37353 post office. For roofers, plumbers, HVAC techs, and painters working on houses here, the residential service map starts with the U.S. 11/64 corridor and a community that is unincorporated rather than a separate city. McDonald was established around 1850, and by 1887 Goodspeed’s History of Tennessee described McDonald’s Station as a small village on the East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia Railroad.
That railroad-era beginning is only part of the local pattern. Mineral springs in the McDonald area drew resort activity from the 1880s into the 1930s, while the horse world still gives the community some of its most recognizable places: the Tri-State Exhibition Center opened in 2001 and expanded in 2003, and Bendabout Farm has been in the Johnston family since the 1830s. Bendabout’s 4,000 acres include a year-round polo ground, and the Bendabout Farm polo match is held once a year. Bachman Academy is another named place in McDonald’s history; it opened in 1912 as a home for orphaned children, later served children with learning disabilities, and closed in 2017.

How listings work →A permanent referral link for every past customer, and an unconditional thank-you gift card when they confirm a referral.
How referrals work →Seasonal reminders that keep you top of mind with the customers you already have.
How email works →Offers you can put in front of homeowners in your area when you want to fill a gap in the schedule.
How deals work →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, Bradley County is one of the nine Tennessee counties that adopted the Home Improvement law, so residential work in McDonald from $3,000 to $24,999 needs a Home Improvement license — remodeling, roofing, painting, decks, driveways, pools and fences included. Most of Middle Tennessee has not adopted it, which is why the answer changes from one county to the next.
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.
No. Your public listing is free, and it stays free. You only ever pay when you accept a lead another contractor sends you.
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.
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.
