Start Here
A fence is only as good as its posts.
Pickets get the attention, but posts decide how long a fence stands straight. On North Texas clay a post set in tamped dirt leans within a few summers. Ours go in concrete, deep enough for the height and the wind load the fence will carry.
After the posts it is the details: a kickboard so the pickets stay off the dirt, a cap that sheds water off the end grain, and gates framed to the opening so they still latch in August.
We walk the line, measure it, and send a written scope with one price. It does not move unless the scope does.
Ready to get yours planned?
A free site walk, then a written scope and one price within five business days.
In every job
- Demo and haul-off of the fence that is coming down
- Posts set in concrete, not tamped dirt
- Factory pre-stained pickets, so the color is even and does not need a second trip
- Gates built to the opening and adjusted before we leave
- One-year workmanship warranty
How we quote it
We do not publish prices or ranges. Every job is measured and built for your house, so a number off a website would be a guess.
A site walk, then a written scope back within five business days. The scope names the work, the materials and the price, and the price does not move unless the scope does.
Anything found behind a wall or under a slab that changes the work gets priced and approved before we touch it. That is a change of work, in writing, not a surprise on the final invoice.
Payment is by ACH, card, check or cash, on the schedule written into the contract.
What Moves the Number
Up and down, before you ask for a quote.
Pushes price up
- Height. Eight feet is not eight sixths of six feet, it is a heavier frame and more picket
- Horizontal boards, which need straighter stock and tighter posts to look right
- Aluminum or powder-coated steel posts instead of cedar
- Staining an existing run to match the new work
- Hand-carry access where a truck cannot reach the line
- Short runs, where getting a crew and materials to the house is a bigger share of the job
Keeps price down
- Sound existing posts, which turns a replacement into a rail and picket job
- Longer runs, which spread mobilization over more feet
- Side-by-side pickets instead of board-on-board
- Fewer gates, and standard hardware rather than locking sets
- Leaving the existing fence unstained rather than matching new to old
Common Questions
Fencing questions, answered
How do you price a cedar fence?
From the walk. We measure the run, check the posts and the grade, and count the gates. Then you get a written scope with one price, all-in: demo, haul-off, posts in concrete, gates and hardware. Height, style, post material and whether your posts can stay are what move it most. We do not publish prices, because a number off a website is not your fence.
Why does a short run cost more per foot?
Because a crew, a truck, and a cedar delivery cost the same whether they are building 40 feet or 140. On a long run that cost spreads out. On a short run it is a bigger share of the job. Your written price shows the whole job either way.
Can you reuse my existing posts?
Often, and it is the cheapest honest version of this job. If the posts are plumb, solid at the ground line, and set in concrete, we replace the rails and pickets around them, which costs well less than a full replacement. We check them at the walk and tell you which ones will not make it. Any post found unsound after demo is priced as a change of work before we touch it.
Do you stain the fence?
New pickets come factory pre-stained, so the finish is even and the color is in the price. Staining an existing run so the old fence matches the new section is separate, quoted on the length and the condition of what is already there. A weathered fence takes more material and more time than a new one.
How long does a fence take?
Most residential runs are one to three days on site once materials are in. Demo and post setting is day one, the concrete cures overnight, and the rails, pickets and gates go on after that. Wrought iron repair runs longer because each post has to be excavated and evaluated before anything is welded.
Do I need a permit for a fence?
It depends on the city and the height. Several municipalities we work in require a permit above six feet, and most HOAs have their own approval on style, height and stain color regardless of what the city says. We tell you which applies at the walk rather than after the posts are set.

Height limits, setbacks, permit triggers and fees change at every city line, and so does the ground. Each page below is one city or county: its rules read from its own code, and what its soil does to a post or a pier.
