Why LC Fence is Knoxville’s Go-To Contractor for Any Fencing Project
When it comes to fencing in Knoxville and East Tennessee, licensing and experience matter more than most homeowners realize. LC Fence has been at it since 1973 and holds a Tennessee Unlimited Contractor License, #54371 — which means no cap on the size of project we can legally bid.
What an Unlimited Contractor License Actually Means
Tennessee assigns licensed contractors a monetary limit — a cap on the dollar size of project they may legally bid. A contractor with a limited license who bids past that cap is working outside their license. An Unlimited classification carries no cap.
To hold it, the state examines financial statements, references and experience — and it has to be maintained. For a backyard fence the cap itself is irrelevant. What matters is that the classification is a third-party check somebody had a reason to be skeptical about.
You can verify any Tennessee contractor in about a minute. Search the license number at verify.tn.gov — it shows class, monetary limit, status and expiration, free. Here is how, and why bonding capacity matters too.
Alongside the license: $6M aggregate bonding, $5M general liability, workers' compensation in force, and SAM.gov registration as a federal contractor under CAGE code 37ZM1.
