When you hire a fence company, you’re not just choosing a material or a price — you’re choosing the people who will walk your property, plan your project, and stand behind the work after the last post is set. At Fence Pros Charleston, that team has a name, a history, and a specific set of values that shape how every project gets done.
Here’s a closer look at the people behind Fence Pros Charleston, and why that matters if you’re considering hiring us.
A Company Built on Two Decades of Specialty Contracting
Fence Pros Charleston was founded in 2020 by the principals of Vision Enterprise Inc., a licensed general contracting firm based in Charlotte, NC with a long history in specialty contracting. The company’s roots go back further than that, though — the same team started as Vision Fencing in 2006, and the approach that built that business has carried straight through to Fence Pros Charleston today: quality work, fair prices, clear communication, and genuine care for customers.
That continuity matters. Fence Pros Charleston isn’t a new company experimenting with a new industry — it’s an experienced specialty contracting team that brought a proven approach to South Carolina and applied it specifically to fencing.
Bruce Hatchell: Hands-On Construction Expertise
Bruce Hatchell is a licensed general contractor and experienced business owner who combines hands-on construction expertise with leadership built on decades of field experience. His oversight is part of why Fence Pros Charleston installations are completed with precision — he brings a builder’s eye to a business built around getting fence installation right, not just fast.
Cindy Hatchell: The Operations Behind Every Smooth Project
Cindy Hatchell brings an extensive background in business and financial management to Fence Pros Charleston, and it shows in how the company runs day to day. From scheduling and logistics to customer service, Cindy’s oversight is a big part of why homeowners get the responsiveness and attention to detail the company is known for. A fence installation that goes smoothly from the first phone call to the last invoice usually has someone like Cindy working behind the scenes to make sure nothing falls through the cracks.
George Carlin: Local Insight and a Smooth Customer Experience
George Carlin serves as Project Manager and is a Charleston native, which means he brings a genuine understanding of the area’s neighborhoods and properties to every project he oversees. With a degree in Business Management from the College of Charleston, George bridges the gap between leadership and field operations — the person making sure each homeowner has a smooth experience from their initial estimate all the way through the final walkthrough.
Having a Project Manager who grew up in the area isn’t just a nice detail. It means the person managing your project actually understands Charleston properties and neighborhoods firsthand, rather than learning them on the job.
The Installation Team Behind Every Fence
Bruce, Cindy, and George lead the company, but the crews who actually build your fence are just as central to the outcome. Fence Pros Charleston’s installers have been with the company for years — many with over a decade of experience — and that consistency shows up in the craftsmanship of every project. Because installation is handled in-house rather than through subcontractors, the skill and standards the team has built over years of repetition stay with every fence we install, not scattered across rotating labor.
The Fence Pros Way: Four Rules That Guide Every Project
Everything at Fence Pros Charleston operates around a simple approach that’s guided the team for nearly 20 years:
- We answer the phone and respond quickly. You’ll always get clear communication and timely updates on your project.
- We show up on time. Respect for your schedule and property is part of the job, not an afterthought.
- We offer great prices. Fencing services are competitively priced and built for long-term value.
- We stand by our work. From the first call to post-installation support, satisfaction doesn’t end at the final walkthrough.
That’s what the team calls The Fence Pros Way — real people, real service, and fences built for security, privacy, and peace of mind.
Why the People Behind Fence Pros Charleston Matter to You
It’s easy to think of a fence installation as a transaction between a homeowner and a company. In practice, it’s a relationship between a homeowner and the specific people who show up, communicate, and follow through. Bruce’s construction background, Cindy’s operational discipline, and George’s local knowledge and project management all shape what actually happens on your property — not just what’s promised in an estimate.
That’s also why the same installers tend to stay with the company for years: a team built around consistency and pride in craftsmanship attracts people who want to do the work the right way, project after project.
