How it works

1. You call or send a request

   Tell us the address and what you're dealing with: a new wall, a wall that's leaning or cracking, timbers that are rotting, or water seeping out of the face or base.

2. We connect you with a local company

   We pass it to an independent retaining wall contractor that covers Kingsport and nearby parts of Sullivan and Hawkins counties.

3. The company handles the job

   They quote, schedule and do the work. Pricing, warranties and terms come from them directly.

What we are and aren't

Kingsport Retaining Walls is a referral service, not a contractor. We don't send crews or employ technicians, and we don't set prices. Using the site is free for homeowners.

In Tennessee, a contractor needs a state license from the Board for Licensing Contractors before bidding a project whose total cost is $25,000 or more. Sullivan and Hawkins counties aren't among the nine counties that require a separate home improvement license for smaller residential jobs, so on a modest wall your best checks are insurance, references and walls the contractor built years ago. Inside Kingsport, the city asks every contractor for proof of workers' compensation and general liability coverage, and a city business license on jobs under $25,000. Across the line in Virginia, any project over $1,000 needs a state contractor license. Ask who pulls the permit, whether an engineer is needed, and get a written quote that spells out wall type, height, drainage and warranty.
