The numbers

The Powell home-services market

Powell has about 13,739 residents.

3,946

About 75% of Powell'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.

1992
Median year built

The typical Powell home is around 34 years old. Housing stock ages on a predictable cycle, and roofs, systems and exteriors come due in waves rather than all at once.

$299,400
Median home value

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

$82,434
Median household income

The place

About Powell.

Powell is still Powell Station in the way locals orient themselves: along Emory Road, or State Route 131, north of Knoxville, with Halls on one side, Karns on the other, I-75 to the east and Clinton Highway to the west. It sits in Beaver Creek Valley between Copper Ridge and Beaver Ridge, so a residential service day here is shaped by the ridges and the few main corridors that cut across them. The place predates Knoxville, with settlement beginning in 1789, and that older identity shows up in landmarks like the Alexander Bishop House on Bishop Lane and John Manifee’s late-1780s fort and trading post along what is now Clinton Highway.

Powell’s “downtown” still has the unused Powell Station train stop, a reminder of when Beaver Creek mud was made into bricks and shipped on the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railway line, now part of Norfolk Southern. The former Powell STOLport by the I-75 and Emory Road interchange gave way after 2013 planning approvals to retail development, another turn in how that corridor filled in. Weigel’s began and remains headquartered in Powell, DeRoyal Industries is a major local employer, and Crown College occupies the former Levi’s property, all part of the everyday residential base around Powell High School and the Panther athletics culture.

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, Knox County is one of the nine Tennessee counties that adopted the Home Improvement law, so residential work in Powell 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.

Straight answers

Questions from Powell contractors.

Does it cost anything to get listed in Powell?

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 Powell?

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.
