Top-Quality Residential & Commercial Fence Contractor in Frankfort, KY
Kentucky's capital since 1792, home to Buffalo Trace and Kentucky State University — and a city where Chafin Fence has built privacy fences in South Frankfort, security perimeters for businesses along US-127, and farm fencing out in Franklin County. Licensed, insured, BBB accredited.
A fence contractor that already knows Frankfort.
Frankfort is a mix we see a lot of: historic homes downtown and in South Frankfort where the fence has to fit the block, newer subdivisions off US-127 and the East-West Connector, state and commercial properties that need real security fencing, and farms along the Kentucky River. We've built in every one of those settings — the double-wide gate in the photo above is a Frankfort job.
Our shop is thirty minutes east on I-64 in Lexington. Free on-site estimates in Franklin County are a regular part of our schedule, and every quote comes in writing with the post depth, material grade, and timeline spelled out.

Get these in writing from whoever you hire. Here's where Chafin stands on each.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes, both. Chafin Fence LLC is a licensed Kentucky contractor carrying general liability insurance, and we're a BBB Accredited Business.
Have you worked in Franklin County before?
Regularly. We know the county's zoning, the rock that shows up two feet down, and which neighborhoods want architectural approval first.
Can I see references — old and new?
Absolutely. Browse 145 real installs in our project gallery, read our reviews, and ask us to point you to a fence near you.
Is the quote itemized — posts, depth, materials, gates?
Always in writing. Material grade, post depth and concrete, gate hardware, removal of the old fence, and a firm timeline — before any deposit.
Who handles permits and utility locates?
We do. Zoning checks, any required permit, and the Kentucky 811 locate are part of every job — you never dig blind.
What happens if the work fails?
We come back and fix it. Every installation carries our 5-Year Craftsmanship Guarantee on top of manufacturer warranties.
What's different about fencing in Franklin County.
Every county in Central Kentucky has its own quirks. These are the ones that come up on Franklin County jobs.
Permits in Frankfort & Franklin County
Standard residential fences under seven feet generally don't need a building permit in Franklin County, but zoning setbacks, corner visibility, and Frankfort city-limit rules still apply. Historic districts may add design review. We confirm what applies to your parcel.
Government & commercial properties
State facilities and businesses along US-127 and the Connector need security fencing that meets a spec — height, gauge, gates, access control. We build to the spec and schedule around operations.
Kentucky 811 & the river lots
Utility locates are required before we dig; we call them in. On river and hillside lots we step the fence line with the grade so there are no gaps at the bottom.
HOA subdivisions
Many of the newer neighborhoods want architectural approval on material, color, and height before a fence goes up. We supply the drawings and specs the committee asks for.
