About Bristol Fence Builders
A locally owned fence contractor serving Bristol and the rest of Sullivan County and the Appalachian Tri-Cities.
Fencing Built in Bristol, Not Trucked In
Bristol Fence Builders started as a small crew running jobs along State Street and the back roads of Sullivan County. We grew into a full-service fence contractor by doing one thing — showing up on time, finishing on time, and standing behind the work. Today we install across Bristol, Johnson City, Kingsport, Bluff City, Blountville, Piney Flats, Jonesborough, Gray, Elizabethton, and Abingdon.
Every job starts with a walk-through of the property and a written quote. No high-pressure sales, no canned package pricing, no calling back two days later with a different number. We measure what's there, talk through the material choices that make sense for your lot, your soil, and your view, and put the price on paper before we leave.
The Appalachians are hard on fences. Shale and limestone sit close to the surface across most of the Tri-Cities, the winters drop hard freezes that drive frost heave deep into the ground, the summers stay humid enough to rot anything that wasn't sealed right, and the ice storms snap top rails and split pickets. We've spent years figuring out which materials and which install details hold up around here — and the fences we put in reflect that.
What We Care About
Doing It Right
Posts get set below frost line in proper concrete footings, not jammed into a shallow hole and called done. Gates get reinforced where the wind hits hardest. Corner braces actually look like corner braces. The small details are why a fence lasts twenty years instead of seven.
Straight Answers
If a repair is cheaper than a replacement, we say so. If a material won't survive your lot's exposure or your HOA's rules, we say that too. You won't get a sales pitch — you'll get the same advice we'd give a neighbor.
Staying Local
Our service area is Sullivan County and the surrounding Tri-Cities towns. That's it. Staying local means we know the soil, the codes, the HOAs, and the inspectors — and we can be back at your property in an hour if something needs attention.
Finishing Clean
The job isn't done when the last picket goes up. We haul off the old fence, the broken concrete, and the scrap material the same day. Your yard should look better when we leave than when we showed up.
Local
Owned and operated out of Bristol. Our crews live in the same towns where they install — Johnson City, Kingsport, Blountville, Piney Flats, Jonesborough, Elizabethton, and Abingdon.
Insured
Full general liability and workers' comp on every job. Ask for proof and we'll send a current certificate the same day.
Experienced
Wood, chain-link, vinyl, wrought iron, metal, farm and ranch, and commercial perimeters — we've installed all of it across Appalachian soil and on every kind of lot.
Warrantied
Written installation warranty on every fence we put up. Manufacturer warranties on materials are handled through us, not pushed back on you.
Licensed, Insured & Award-Winning
We're proud to be a trusted fencing contractor in the Appalachian Tri-Cities, committed to quality and customer satisfaction on every project.
What Our Clients Say
Cedar privacy fence on a sloped lot off Volunteer Parkway, and the ground turned to shale about a foot down. Their crew brought the right gear, cored the post holes clean, and the line ran dead straight up the grade. Came through last winter's ice storm without a leaner.
Black aluminum fence around the back yard off Carroll Creek Road. They worked around the rhododendron without losing a single bush and squared the gate to the deck post within a sixteenth. Two years in and the powder coat still looks like the day they finished.
Five-strand barbed wire and a pipe-and-cable run across about twelve acres off Pickens Bridge Road. Locust corners, real H-braces, and the gates were sized wide enough for the tractor without me asking. They knew what a working pasture fence is supposed to look like.
Wrought iron front gate and matching panel run along the stone wall off West Main Street. The pedestrian gate has hand-forged scrollwork, the install crew never nicked the old maple, and the powder coat handled the salt from the road all winter. Worth every penny.
