Fence Services We Offer in Houston
We install and repair all major fence types for Houston homeowners, landlords, and small businesses. Every job starts with a free on-site estimate.
Wood Fence Installation
Custom wood fence installation using pressure-treated pine, cedar, or redwood. We build privacy fences, picket fences, and shadowbox designs built to withstand Houston's heat and humidity. Proper post-setting depth is critical in Houston's clay soil — we get it right.
Vinyl Fence Installation
Low-maintenance vinyl fencing that won't rot, warp, or need painting. Ideal for Houston's humid climate — easy to clean and long-lasting. Available in privacy, semi-privacy, and picket styles.
Chain-Link Fence Installation
Affordable and durable chain-link fencing for security and boundary definition. Galvanized or vinyl-coated options available. Includes secure single and double gate installation.
Ornamental Iron Fence Installation
Decorative iron fencing for curb appeal and security. We use quality coatings suited for Houston's climate to help prevent rust. Great for front yards and commercial properties.
Fence Repair & Storm Damage Repair
Houston storms take a toll on fences. We fix leaning posts, broken panels, downed sections, rotted boards, and damaged gates. Fast turnaround on storm repair work.
Gate Installation
Single and double gates for walk-through access and driveways. Hardware, hinges, and latches included. We build gates that swing true and latch securely.
Commercial Fencing
Perimeter security fencing for commercial properties, rental housing, and light industrial sites. We handle large linear footage jobs across the Houston metro.
Fencing in Houston's Climate — What to Know
Houston's heat, humidity, and heavy rain affect fence materials differently. Here's what works:
| Material | Houston Performance | Maintenance |
|---|---|---|
| Pressure-treated pine | Good — resists rot when properly installed | Seal/stain every 2–3 years |
| Cedar | Very good — naturally rot-resistant | Stain every 3–5 years |
| Vinyl | Excellent — moisture/warp resistant | Rinse as needed, no painting |
| Chain-link (galvanized) | Excellent — very durable | Minimal — check tension/posts |
| Ornamental iron | Good — needs rust-resistant finish | Touch up paint/coating every few years |
Our Fence Installation Process
1) Free on-site estimate
We measure the perimeter, review the site (soil, slopes, existing fence, utility lines), discuss material options, and give you a clear written quote.
2) 811 utility locating
Before we dig any post hole, we confirm utility line locations. In Texas, calling 811 (or submitting online) is required before digging — we handle this coordination.
3) Post setting
Houston's expansive clay soil requires careful post depth and concrete setting. We set posts deep enough to handle the soil movement and high winds common in the Houston area.
4) Panel & gate installation
Fence panels, boards, or fabric are installed plumb and level. Gates are hung with proper hardware so they swing and latch correctly from day one.
5) Cleanup & walkthrough
We clean up all debris, confirm the fence line and gate operation with you, and let you know what maintenance will help it last longer.
