Serving Madison County

Richmond and Madison County, fenced by one crew.

Richmond is a college town, a growing suburb, and a farm county all at once. Rental properties and family homes near EKU, new neighborhoods off Lancaster Avenue and the Bypass, commercial and industrial sites along I-75 and US-25, and pasture from Richmond down to Berea. We build the right fence for each — and we've done a lot of them.

Our shop is twenty-five minutes north on I-75 in Lexington. Free on-site estimates in Madison County are routine — we walk the line, check zoning and utilities, and put a firm price in writing.

Choosing a Fence Contractor

What to ask before you hire a fence contractor in Richmond — and how we answer.

  • 1

    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.

  • 2

    Have you worked in Madison County before?

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

  • 3

    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.

  • 4

    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.

  • 5

    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.

  • 6

    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.

Madison County Know-How

What's different about fencing in Madison County.

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

  • Permits & zoning in Richmond

    Richmond and Madison County zoning govern setbacks, height by yard location, and corner-lot sight lines, with different rules inside city limits versus the county. We confirm what applies to your address before we quote.

  • Rental & multi-unit properties

    Near EKU we build a lot of durable, low-maintenance fencing for rentals and small multi-family lots — chain link and vinyl that survive tenant turnover.

  • Kentucky 811 & property lines

    Utility locates are required by law and we call them in. On older lots and farm boundaries we recommend confirming pins before a long run goes in.

  • Cattle country

    Madison County is cattle first. Woven wire with a top board or high-tensile with braced ends is the standard, and we set posts to hold a 1,200-pound animal leaning on them.

Richmond Fence FAQs

The questions Madison County asks.

Yes. Chafin Fence LLC is a licensed Kentucky fence contractor carrying general liability insurance, and we're a BBB Accredited Business. We serve Richmond, Berea, and Madison County from our Lexington shop, about twenty-five minutes north on I-75, with our own crews.
Confirm licensing and insurance, look for local experience with Madison County zoning and ground, ask for references on older installs as well as recent ones, and get an itemized written quote covering post depth, material grade, gate hardware, and warranty. Be cautious of large cash deposits or lowball bids that skimp on posts and concrete. Chafin provides free written estimates and backs every installation with a 5-Year Craftsmanship Guarantee.
It depends on height and placement. Standard backyard fences often don't require a permit, but zoning setbacks, height limits by yard location, and corner-lot visibility rules apply, with different requirements inside Richmond city limits versus Madison County. Kentucky 811 utility locates are required before any digging. We confirm the rules for your address and handle locates and approvals.
Durable and low-maintenance: chain link for budget and visibility, vinyl privacy where you want a cleaner look with no painting, or black aluminum where curb appeal matters. All three hold up to tenant turnover and Kentucky weather. We'll recommend based on the lot and your budget.
Woven wire with a pressure-treated top board for mixed herds and calves, or high-tensile wire with braced end assemblies for large pastures with mature cattle — often with an electric offset. Four-board is the choice for horses and front pastures. Posts are set below the frost line and braced to hold livestock pressure.
Most residential fences are installed in 1 to 3 days once the layout is marked and utilities are located. Commercial perimeters and farm fencing take longer depending on footage, gates, and terrain. We provide a firm timeline with the written quote.
Yes. We repair every fence type across Madison County — storm damage, rotted or leaning posts, broken panels, sagging wire, and gates — regardless of who installed it. Livestock containment repairs are prioritized. Call (859) 552-8763.
