Serving Jessamine County

A Lexington fence company that treats Nicholasville like home turf.

Nicholasville has grown fast — new subdivisions off US-27 and Brannon Crossing, established neighborhoods closer to downtown, and working farms and horse properties toward Keene, Wilmore, and the Kentucky River. Each of those needs a different fence, and we've built all of them.

Chafin Fence is based at 2071 Enterprise Circle in Lexington, a short drive up Nicholasville Road, so a free on-site estimate in Jessamine County isn't a favor — it's a normal Tuesday. We walk the line, check the setbacks and utilities, and put a firm price in writing.

Choosing a Fence Contractor

Six things to ask any fence company in Nicholasville — and our answers.

Get these in writing from whoever you hire. Here's where Chafin stands on each.

Ask them

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.

Ask them

Have you worked in Jessamine County before?

Regularly. We know the county's zoning, the limestone that shows up two feet down, and which subdivisions want architectural approval first.

Ask them

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.

Ask them

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.

Ask them

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.

Ask them

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.

Jessamine County Know-How

What's different about fencing in Nicholasville.

Every county in Central Kentucky has its own quirks. These are the ones that come up on Jessamine County jobs.

  • Zoning approval & height limits

    Nicholasville and Jessamine County typically review fence height (commonly up to 6 ft in rear and side yards, lower out front), setbacks, and corner-lot sight lines. Rules differ inside city limits versus the county — we confirm yours.

  • HOA architectural review

    Many of the newer subdivisions off US-27 require HOA sign-off on material, color, and height before a permit. We supply the drawings and specs the committee asks for.

  • Kentucky 811 & property lines

    State law requires a utility locate before digging; we call it in. If your pins are missing or the line is in doubt, we'll recommend a survey before the first post — cheaper than moving a fence.

  • Rock, clay, and frost

    Jessamine County ground can go from clay to limestone in the same yard. We set posts below the frost line in concrete and bring the equipment to get through rock without shortcuts.

Nicholasville Fence FAQs

The questions Jessamine County asks.

Often, yes. Nicholasville and Jessamine County fence projects typically go through local zoning approval to confirm setbacks and height limits — commonly up to 6 feet in rear and side yards and lower in front yards — and fences near street corners have sight-line rules. Requirements differ inside city limits versus unincorporated Jessamine County, and HOA subdivisions add their own approvals. We check the requirements for your specific parcel, pull what's needed, and call Kentucky 811 for utility locates before we dig.
Professional fence installation in Central Kentucky generally runs $15 to $45 per linear foot installed, with material driving most of the difference: chain link is the most affordable, wood privacy sits in the middle, and vinyl and ornamental aluminum fall at the higher end. Gates, old fence removal, rocky ground, and slopes add to the total. We provide a free on-site estimate in Nicholasville with a firm written quote — no surprises after the fact.
Vinyl and powder-coated aluminum handle Central Kentucky's freeze-thaw cycles and humidity with essentially no maintenance. Pressure-treated wood privacy and shadowbox fences are the most popular choice in Nicholasville neighborhoods and last well when they're stained or sealed every few years. Four-board farm fencing is the Bluegrass standard for acreage. Whichever material you choose, posts set in concrete below the frost line are what keep a fence straight through Kentucky winters.
Fences in both Nicholasville and rural Jessamine County have to respect property-line setbacks, height limits by yard location, and corner-lot visibility rules, and Kentucky law requires a Kentucky 811 utility locate before any post holes are dug. Agricultural properties follow their own standards for livestock enclosures. We recommend confirming your property lines — a survey if there's any doubt — before the first post goes in. We handle locates and local requirements as part of every job.
Most residential fences in Nicholasville are installed in 1 to 3 days once the layout is marked and utilities are located. Post holes are dug and set in concrete on day one; panels, pickets, and gates follow once the concrete has cured. Larger runs, commercial perimeters, and farm fencing take longer, and we give you a firm timeline with your written quote.
Yes. We install and repair fences throughout Jessamine County — Nicholasville, Wilmore, Keene, the Brannon Crossing corridor along US-27, and rural properties out toward Camp Nelson and the Kentucky River — as well as neighboring Lexington, Versailles, and Richmond.
Confirm the contractor is licensed and insured, look for local experience with Jessamine County soil, rock, and zoning, ask for references on both recent and older installations, and get an itemized written quote that spells out post depth, material grade, gate hardware, and the warranty. Be wary of large cash deposits or lowball bids that cut corners on posts and concrete. Chafin Fence is licensed, insured, and BBB accredited, provides free written estimates, and backs every installation with a 5-Year Craftsmanship Guarantee — see the checklist above.
