We’ve all been in the position where we have said to ourselves, “This would be so much easier if I only had (insert your own answer here).” In Kingsport, Paul and Debbie Nottingham have built a business focused on helping people have that item when they need it, for as long as they need it, and the company is celebrating 30 years of success.  

For the past three decades, people in East Tennessee and Southwest Virginia have relied on Action Rentals for high-quality tools and equipment in good working order. The company’s experienced professionals provide a superior level of service, showing customers how to properly use the equipment they rent and answering any questions they may have.

“A happy customer is a repeat customer, and we want to be our customers’ first choice whether they call on us every week or just occasionally,” says Paul. “Our folks know how to use everything we rent, and we take time to show our customers how to use the equipment so they will get the best possible results from their effort.”

Nottingham says the company’s customer base falls into three primary categories: do-it-yourselfers, professional contractors, and people planning events.

Event planners use the company’s tent and party rental division, which was established in 1995 in response to customer demand. Debbie Nottingham and her team work with customers who need everything from linens for a wedding reception to a cotton candy machine for an employee event or an inflatable for a child’s birthday party.

“We encounter quite a few customers who don’t plan events on a regular basis,” explains Debbie. “It’s really enjoyable to show people all that we offer and help them plan an event that is both successful and memorable.” 

So the next time you find yourself in the predicament of pondering how much easier a job would be with a certain tool or how much better your party would go with say, a chocolate fountain, remember Action Rentals. Chances are they have just what you need.
