| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Wood & Privacy Fence Installation | From $25/ft | Knoxville lots sit on shallow limestone, so crews core-drill or reset footings when a post hole hits rock. On rolling ranch lots in Bearden, Powell and Halls we rack each run to the grade, and on narrow Old North Knoxville lots we work tight to trees and fences. |
| Vinyl & PVC Fence Installation | From $36/ft | Vinyl holds its color through East Tennessee summers and never needs staining, which matters on the shaded lots in Bearden and Fountain City. We set posts deep enough to hold even where limestone runs close to the surface, and we match the height and color rules common in Farragut and Hardin Valley subdivisions. |
| Chain Link Fence Installation | From $15/ft | Chain link is the practical choice for the wide, rolling lots in Bearden, Fountain City, Powell, and Halls, many of them brick ranch homes now at fence replacement age. We set posts past the shallow limestone that stops a lot of hand digging in this part of the valley, and rack the line to your yard's slope instead of stepping it. |
| Aluminum & Ornamental Iron Fencing | From $40/ft | Aluminum and iron fencing holds up in the humidity without rusting through, which is why it shows up around the older homes in Sequoyah Hills and the newer subdivisions of Farragut. It keeps the sight line open across rolling lots and meets the appearance rules most HOAs in this area require. |
| Fence Repair | From $440 | Fences in Knoxville lean and gap for the same two reasons: shallow limestone that keeps a post from setting deep, and rolling grade that racks a panel loose over time. We reset what's failing, replace rotten boards, and rehang gates so they close true on the slope. |
| Storm Damage Fence Repair | Free damage assessment | East Tennessee storms bring down limbs fast on the mature trees that line Old North Knoxville and Fourth and Gill, and a fence underneath takes the hit. We document the damage for your insurance claim, then rebuild the section, matching material and height to what's still standing. |
| Fence Post Repair & Replacement | From $440 | A post that won't set is almost always limestone, not frost, this far south, and it's the single biggest reason a hole stops short in Knoxville yards. When that happens we switch methods, core-drilling, sleeving, or setting in a concrete collar, instead of forcing a shallow hole that will fail again. |
| Gate Installation & Repair | From $465 | A gate on a rolling Knoxville lot has to be hung for the fall of the land or it will swing open, drag, or bind within a season. We set hinge posts deep past the shallow rock layer and adjust the hang to your yard's actual slope, not a level line. |
| Automatic & Driveway Gates | From $2,800 | Long driveways on acreage in Blount, Sevier, and Union counties, and estate lots in Farragut, are where automatic gates earn their keep. We run power and set posts to handle the swing or slide over rolling ground, and wire in keypad or remote access built for the distance from house to road. |
| Pool Fence Installation | From $32/ft | On sloped pool lots in Farragut we hang each gate for the fall of the land so it swings clear and closes on its own. Panels are set tight to the ground with no gap for small feet, at the height your county requires. |
| Fence Replacement & Removal | From $2,300 | Most of the brick ranch homes in Bearden, Fountain City, Powell, and Halls are sitting behind a fence that's now at or past replacement age. We pull the old posts, including whatever's left set in limestone, haul off the debris, and rebuild on a layout that fits how the yard actually rolls. |
| Fence Staining & Restoration | From $920 | East Tennessee humidity pushes mildew into wood fast, and full-sun runs on open lots in Powell and Halls take a harder UV beating than shaded fences under the tree canopy in Old North Knoxville. We clean, brighten, and reseal to match what the exposure actually did to your wood. |
| Commercial & Temporary Fencing | Free site quote | Job sites around Oak Ridge, Knoxville, and Maryville need fencing that goes up fast, holds through weather, and comes down clean when the project closes out. We supply temporary panel fencing for construction and event sites, plus permanent commercial fence work sized to the property. |
| Farm & Ranch Fencing | From $11/ft | Cattle ground and lake property in Blount, Sevier, and Union counties call for fencing that holds livestock and stands up to acreage-scale weather, not a suburban privacy run. We build woven wire, high-tensile, and split rail lines that follow the roll of pasture ground without stepping it. |
What Affects the Price
- Fence Material and Style : Premium materials like vinyl and ornamental iron cost more per linear foot than chain link or wood, but offer different durability, maintenance, and aesthetic benefits. Your choice directly impacts the overall project cost.
- Property Size and Linear Footage : Most fence installation is priced per linear foot. Larger properties naturally require more materials and labor, though per-foot pricing often becomes more favorable on bigger projects.
- Site Accessibility and Terrain : Difficult terrain, dense vegetation, rocky soil, or limited equipment access may increase labor time and costs. A site assessment helps us provide an accurate quote for your specific conditions.
- Existing Fence Removal and Repairs : If you need old fencing removed, posts replaced, or storm damage assessed, these services add to the total project cost but ensure a proper foundation for new installations.
