The numbers

The Russellville home-services market

Russellville has about 684 residents.

208
Owner-occupied homes

About 80% of Russellville'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.

1964
Median year built

The typical Russellville home is around 62 years old. Housing stock ages on a predictable cycle, and roofs, systems and exteriors come due in waves rather than all at once.

$96,400
Median home value

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

$48,203
Median household income

Household income is the other half of that picture — together they tell you which jobs a market actually supports.

The place

About Russellville.

For residential contractors, Russellville is defined first by US 11E/SR 34, the Hamblen County corridor that puts the community about midway between Whitesburg and Morristown. Its older story runs much deeper than that highway: George Russell founded Russellville in 1784 after receiving a large land grant in what was then Greene County, North Carolina. The place later became tied to the Civil War when James Longstreet made the Nenney House his headquarters after the Battle of Bean’s Station in December 1863, and his army spent the winter of 1863-64 camped around Russellville.

That history is still visible in house-scale landmarks a local team will know by name. The Nenney House now operates as The General Longstreet Museum, Hayslope still stands from its days as the Tavern with the Red Door, and Bethesda Presbyterian Church was used as a Civil War hospital. Russellville also had a rougher twentieth-century chapter as a hub for bootleg whiskey production and distribution. Today, with portions of the community annexed into Morristown as of 2020, the Russellville service area sits between old Hamblen County roots and the practical pull of Morristown.

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

Does it cost anything to get listed in Russellville?

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 Russellville?

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.
