Fence Installation Built for the Tri-Cities and Carter County
Elizabethton Fence Builders is a local fence contractor working across Carter County and the broader Tri-Cities area of northeast Tennessee. We install wood, vinyl, aluminum, chain-link, metal, farm and ranch fencing, and commercial perimeters — all built to handle Appalachian weather, sloped lots, and the freeze-thaw cycles that pull lesser fences out of the ground.
Our crews live and work in the area. We know the rocky shoulders along the Doe River, the clay-heavy ground out toward Stoney Creek, and how the Carter County permitting office reads a site plan. Every fence we set is squared, plumbed, and footed to last through mountain winters and the storms that roll off Roan and Holston Mountain.

Recent Fence Installations Across Carter County and the Tri-Cities
Hear From Our Clients
Six-foot board-on-board privacy run on a sloped backyard off Lynn Avenue. The grade drops nearly four feet across the line and they stepped the panels clean instead of trying to rack it. Two winters in, no leaning posts, no gaps after the freeze-thaw.
Four-board horse fence on the pasture off Old Stage Road. Locust posts where the wet spots are, treated pine through the dry stretches, gates wide enough to take the tractor. Crew knew what they were doing and the price held to the quote.
Aluminum decorative fence around the front yard on a ridge lot off Indian Ridge Road. Powder-coated black, picket spacing tight, and they ran it level on a hillside that nobody else wanted to bid. Looks sharp from the road.
Repair job after a big limb came down across the chain-link off Jackson Love Highway. They were out two days after I called, replaced the bent top rail, reset the corner post, and patched the fabric so you can't tell where it was hit.
What You Get When You Hire Us
A fence isn't just material — it's the install, the cleanup, and the answer when you have a question six months later. Here's what comes standard with every Elizabethton Fence Builders job.
Free On-Site Estimates
We drive out, measure the run, talk through materials, and leave you with a written quote the same week. No deposit to get a number.
Permit Handling
Commercial jobs, HOA submittals, and most fences inside the city limits need paperwork. We pull permits with Carter County, the City of Elizabethton, or the City of Johnson City so you don't have to.
Clean Job Sites
Old posts, broken concrete, scrap pickets — we haul it out the same day we finish. Your yard looks like a fence appeared overnight, not like a job site sat for a week.
Real Warranty
Our installation warranty is written, not verbal. Manufacturer warranties on materials are handled through us — one number to call if something goes wrong.
Common Questions From Elizabethton Homeowners
If you're new to hiring a fence company in the Tri-Cities area, these are the questions we hear most often. If yours isn't on the list, give us a call.
A standard residential fence runs one to three days from start to finish, depending on the length and the slope. Cross-fencing on acreage and longer commercial runs may take a full week. We give you a firm window before the crew shows up.
Most residential privacy fences in unincorporated Carter County don't require a permit if they meet height limits, but anything over six feet usually does. Inside Elizabethton city limits, the city has its own fence ordinance. We handle the paperwork either way.
Vinyl and aluminum hold up the longest with the least maintenance — they don't rot, rust, or split in the freeze-thaw. Wood still looks the best on a Carter County property, but it needs a kickboard, hot-dipped fasteners, and a stain every few years to handle the humidity. Chain-link is the workhorse for security and pasture corners.
Standard posts go in at least 30 inches deep with concrete footings, well below the frost line for this part of Tennessee. On corner posts, gate posts, and anywhere the ground is loose or sloped, we go deeper. A lot of the lots around here hit rock — we bring the right gear to either bore through it or set in shallow footings with proper anchoring.
Yes. Most of the lots in Carter County have grade. We step privacy fences clean between panels instead of trying to rack a pre-built section, and we adjust post heights one at a time. Rack-able aluminum and chain-link follow the slope without stepping. We'll show you how each style looks on your grade before you decide.
Yes. We run field fence, hi-tensile wire, four-board, and pipe-and-cable for the cattle and horse properties through Carter, Johnson, and Unicoi counties. Locust corner posts where the wet ground demands it, treated pine through the dry stretches, and gates sized for tractor access.
We do both. Storm damage, leaning posts from frost heave, broken gates, rotted bottom rails — we handle small repairs and full replacements. If a repair isn't worth the money, we'll tell you that honestly.
Pricing depends on material, length, and terrain. Chain-link runs on the lower end, wood and vinyl sit in the middle, and aluminum and ornamental metal run higher. Every quote we write is flat, line-itemed, and includes labor and disposal.
