The place

About Monteagle.

Monteagle is shaped by the Cumberland Plateau as much as by its town limits, which run across Grundy, Marion, and Franklin counties. The Marion-Grundy line cuts through the center of town, while Interstate 24 bends just south and west of the center with access at Exits 134 and 135. U.S. Route 41 is Main Street, running east toward Tracy City and northwest toward Manchester, and U.S. Route 41A breaks off toward Sewanee and Winchester. For residential teams, those roads are the practical map: plateau homes around Monteagle, calls down toward Cowan or South Pittsburg, and weather delays when I-24 closes on “The Monteagle” in bad conditions and traffic shifts onto US 41.

The town sits just under 2,000 feet on the narrow stretch locals know as Monteagle Mountain, with steep drop-offs northwest and southeast and heavy precipitation more like the southern Blue Ridge than much of Tennessee. Monteagle began as Moffat Station after John Moffat bought land here in 1870; Fairmount College later gave way to today’s DuBose Conference Center, and the Monteagle Sunday School Assembly began in 1882. The former Highlander Folk School adds another layer to the town’s identity, with Rosa Parks attending workshops there before the Montgomery Bus Boycott.

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, it depends which side of the line the house is on. Marion County adopted the Home Improvement law, so residential jobs there from $3,000 to $24,999 need a Home Improvement license; the rest of Monteagle does not. Worth checking per address rather than assuming, since Monteagle sits in Franklin, Grundy and Marion Counties.

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 Monteagle contractors.

Does it cost anything to get listed in Monteagle?

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 Monteagle?

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.
