Wood Privacy Fencing in Kingsport, TN
Wood privacy fencing gives your yard a solid, natural-looking screen from the street and the neighbors. Jason Frady Construction builds it across Kingsport and the Tri-Cities with ground-contact posts, quality lumber, and a layout planned around your yard's slope and property lines.
What Goes Into a Wooden Privacy Fence
A wooden privacy fence uses vertical boards set tight together, usually six feet tall, so the street and the house next door can't see into the yard. Most Tri-Cities homeowners choose between two lumber options: pressure-treated pine, which is affordable and resists rot and insects, and cedar, which costs more but naturally sheds moisture and weathers to a soft gray.
Style is where the fence takes on its personality. Dog-ear and flat-top pickets give a classic look, board-on-board overlaps the pickets so gaps don't open as the wood shrinks, and a lattice or shadowbox top softens a tall fence beside a patio or flower bed. Height limits vary by town and by front or back yard, so we confirm what's allowed before quoting.
A well-built wood fence typically lasts 15 to 20 years, and that number depends on post depth, lumber grade, and a fresh coat of stain or sealer every few years. Whether the yard sits near the Holston River or out toward Bays Mountain, those details decide whether the fence still looks good a decade from now.
Signs It's Time for a Backyard Privacy Fence
Some yards clearly need a fence. Others take a little longer to decide, usually after one of these shows up:
If two or three of these sound familiar, it's worth getting a fence estimate before another season passes.
How it works
How Our Wood Privacy Fence Installation Works
Every fence job follows the same process, whether it's a small backyard in Blountville or a full perimeter fence on a larger lot in Jonesborough. Here's what to expect from first call to finished fence.
-
Step 1: Walkthrough and Board Style Planning
We visit the property, walk the fence line, and talk through height, lumber, picket style, and gate placement. The estimate is written on the spot, with no sales pressure and no surprise add-ons later.
-
Step 2: Staking and Prepping the Fence Line
Before any posts go in, we stake the line, check the slope, and prep the ground by removing old fencing, roots, and debris. On sloped yards, this is when we decide whether the fence will step down in level sections or follow the grade.
-
Step 3: Setting Posts Below the Frost Line
Posts are set to a depth that clears the local frost line, set in concrete, and spaced for the board style chosen. This step determines how straight and sturdy the fence stays for the next fifteen to twenty years, so it's never rushed.
-
Step 4: Hanging Boards, Gates, and Final Check
Boards go up, gates are hung and squared, and every section gets checked for level and alignment. We walk the finished fence with you before calling the job done, so nothing gets missed.
Why Choose Us
Why Homeowners Hire Us as Their Privacy Fence Contractor
Plenty of wood fence contractors will quote a privacy fence over the phone without ever seeing the yard. Jason Frady Construction prices and builds every fence after walking the actual property, and it shows in the finished fence.
-
Careful Workmanship From Post to Picket
Jason stays hands-on through each build, and every post is plumbed, every rail is fastened tight, and every board is spaced for the lumber chosen. The details that keep a fence straight get checked as the work goes, not after.
-
Honest Pricing on Lumber and Labor
Estimates reflect real material and labor costs for your yard, not a padded number that leaves room for a "discount." You get a fair price the first time, without the back-and-forth haggling some contractors expect.
-
One Name to Call After the Job
If something needs attention later, there's one name and one phone number to call, not a subcontractor who's moved on to the next town. The same accountable contractor handles roofing, fencing, and decks and porches, which is why so much of this business comes from referrals.

Custom Wood Fencing Built for Tri-Cities Weather
The Tri-Cities see humid summers and cold, wet winters, and both take a toll on a fence that isn't built right. Posts set too shallow will heave when the ground freezes and thaws through January and February, which is the most common reason an older wood fence starts leaning within a few years.
Hardware and posts matter just as much as depth. Ground-contact rated posts, galvanized or coated fasteners that won't rust and streak the boards, and a sealer applied once the wood dries out all help a fence handle the humid summers that homeowners near downtown Kingsport and along the river know well.
Local permitting and setback rules also vary by town, from Kingsport to Bristol to Johnson City, and a fence set too close to a property line can mean a costly redo. Every estimate accounts for local code requirements before the first post goes in the ground, so there are no surprises once the fence is up.
