We handle fence work across the Austin metro from tear-out through rebuild: replacement, new installation, repair, gates, and staining, in wood, chain link, ornamental iron, vinyl, and bull panel. Every service below is work our own crew does.

Most people land here knowing something’s wrong with their fence but not what the fix is called. That’s fine. The short version is that the posts decide most of it: while they’re sound, you have options; once they’ve gone to the ground line, you’re replacing rather than repairing. Call (512) 746-0980 or schedule an estimate, and we’ll tell you what you’re looking at.

We’re a fence contractor, and we do nothing but fence work. The crew handles everything on this page week in, week out, which is why the list is so long.

Replacement, installation, and repair

The largest share of our work is replacing a failed fence: pulling the old line, removing the footings, hauling it away, and setting a new fence on new posts. If there’s nothing there yet, building a fence from scratch gives us a free hand with the layout, which usually results in a better fence than replacing one someone else laid out poorly.

Not everything needs replacing. Targeted repairs address a run that’s come loose, a section knocked down, failed hardware, or a gate that’s stopped closing, and they’ll hold for years even when the posts underneath are still good. We’ll say so when that’s the case rather than sell you the bigger job.

What we build with

Material is a decision about the property, not a preference. Board-on-board privacy is the default in most Austin neighborhoods, in solid or overlapping layouts, and it’s what most HOAs expect to see. Chain link options cost less and suit back runs, side yards, and anywhere containment matters more than screening.

Where the view is part of why someone bought the house, open-view iron gives you a boundary without a wall. Out on acreage, bull panel fencing handles livestock and long boundary runs that would be impractical any other way.

We also install vinyl fence, which appeals to homeowners who’d rather not stain anything again, and pool safety fence, which is barrier work governed by code rather than a style choice. Commercial fencing covers perimeter, boundary, and access-controlled installations on business property. Those three have pages coming; call us in the meantime, and we’ll talk them through.

Wood lasts longer finished than bare, so staining plus sealing is worth planning as part of the job rather than an afterthought. We do it on fences we built, and on fences we didn’t.

What happens at the estimate

We come out, walk the whole line with you, and look at the things that decide the job: post condition, what the ground does at depth, where the survey puts the boundary, how the grade runs, and what the gate opening actually measures. It takes a while. That’s deliberate, because the alternative is a number over the phone that changes once we’re standing in the yard.

You’ll get a straight read on repair versus replacement, including when the answer is that you don’t need us yet. If the fence has two or three good years left, we’d rather tell you that and come back later than sell you a replacement now. Then you get the layout we’d recommend, the material options that suit the property, and a figure that holds unless the tear-out turns up something buried.

If you’re in an HOA neighborhood, this is also where we flag approval timing, because that usually sets your start date rather than our schedule does. Nothing is charged for any of it, and there’s no obligation at the end.

Working with us

We’re fully insured. Our work comes with a one-year craftsmanship warranty. Estimates are free; we offer them online, and we walk the fence line with you before we quote anything, because the property tells us things an address never will.

That matters more here than it might elsewhere. West and north of Austin, you can easily get through the first foot of a post hole, only to hit hard caliche or limestone right where the post needs depth, and conditions change from one end of a yard to the other. In Lakeway, the rock comes with slope and drainage, so a lot dropping toward a greenbelt is a different job from a flat one a few streets away. In HOA neighborhoods like Circle C, architectural approval usually takes longer than the build, which is why we raise it at the estimate rather than the week we’re due to start.

Gate work

A gate moves, so it wears differently from the fence it sits in, and it’s worth treating as its own job. Our gate services cover new gates, repairs, replacements, and the frames and hardware underneath them. For driveways, powered driveway gates provide controlled vehicle access, with the operator sized to the gate’s weight.

Where we work

We serve Austin, Cedar Park, Round Rock, Lakeway, and Bee Cave, as well as West Lake Hills, Steiner Ranch, Circle C Ranch, Barton Creek, Lost Creek, Northwest Hills, Great Hills, and Old West Austin.

Still not sure which service you need? That’s the normal starting point. Call (512) 746-0980 or talk to us, and we’ll walk the fence with you and give you a straight answer. Estimates are free.

FAQs

Push hard on a post at shoulder height. If it moves on its own, the footing or the wood at grade has gone, and you’re looking at replacement. If the posts hold and the damage is in pickets, rails, or hardware, a repair will do it. If there’s no fence there at all, that’s an installation. We’ll confirm it on site.

Yes. Everything on this page is work our own crew carries out. Permits go through our permit partners where a job requires one, but our crew does the fence work from tear-out through the last picket.

Usually, replacing a run while repairing another, or adding a gate to an existing fence, is a common combination, and it’s more efficient to do them together. Tell us everything you’re thinking about at the time of the estimate, rather than after we’ve scheduled.

It depends on the season and on your HOA. The build itself is usually a few days for a residential job. If your neighborhood requires architectural approval, that’s what sets your start date, so it’s worth starting that process as early as you can.

Yes. We handle perimeter, boundary, and access-controlled fencing for business property alongside our residential work. The approach is the same: we look at the site, then price against what’s actually there.

It helps because most of the useful questions come up while we’re walking the line, and decisions about layout or gate placement are much easier face-to-face. If you can’t be there, we can work from photos and a phone call, but we’ll want to confirm the layout with you before anything is set.

We can, and the conversation with the neighbor is worth having before we start. Shared fences raise questions about the line, cost, and which side the finished face goes on. We’ll tell you what we’re seeing on the survey; the agreement itself is between the two of you.

Austin and the suburbs around it, including Cedar Park, Round Rock, Lakeway, and Bee Cave, plus the neighborhoods listed above. If you’re near the edge of that, call and ask. We’d rather tell you honestly than send a crew that’s stretched too thin to do the job properly.
