Lafayette, Red Boiling Springs and the countryside
Lafayette has been the county seat since Macon County was formed in 1843. With about 5,600 residents in 2020, it is the county's largest town and its manufacturing center, home to manufactured-housing, plastics and lumber employers and to the Macon-Lafayette Industrial Park off Sneed Boulevard. The courthouse square anchors the town, and State Routes 52 and 10 cross there.

Red Boiling Springs, about ten miles east along Salt Lick Creek, is a historic mineral-springs village of about 1,200 people where three resort-era hotels still operate. Beyond these two towns, Macon County is farmland, wooded hills and rural homes, all of which we serve. Lafayette also sits on a drainage divide, with water to the north flowing toward the Barren River and water to the south toward the Cumberland, a detail that hints at how much open country surrounds the towns.
How calls in Macon County work
We keep no Macon County office; our mobile service works out of the Nashville area. Lafayette is about 60 miles northeast of Nashville, and we usually arrive by I-65 and State Route 52, roughly 35 miles from the interstate near Portland. We give an honest sense of timing when you call 615-513-5112, which is answered at all hours.
The work here reflects the county's mix. Families may call after a death at home or a medical emergency. Farm owners may need help with rodent waste in barns or septic backups. Employers in Lafayette can call after a workplace injury, and lodging owners in Red Boiling Springs can call when a guest room needs discreet cleanup or disinfection. In each case we explain the scope before starting and refer plumbing, pest exclusion and repairs to the right trades.
If a death or crime has occurred, the medical examiner or law enforcement must release the property first.
