Kirby's grid of post-war single-family homes sits on the expansive clay soils that define the San Antonio area, and that clay is the reason fences fail here. When the ground swells and shrinks with our wet and dry cycles, fence posts heave and lean, and untreated wood rots at the ground line faster than anywhere else in Texas.

San Antonio Fence Company has been serving Kirby (78219) and the surrounding San Antonio area since 2015. We know the soil, the weather, and what holds up. Our crews handle the jobs that matter most to Kirby homeowners: chain link fences that stay plumb, pressure-treated pine privacy fences that resist rot, and repair work that saves you the cost of replacement when the post is the problem, not the panels.

Fence Service in Kirby (78219)

Kirby's housing stock is built on clay that moves. In the wet season, it swells. In the dry season, it shrinks. That cycle heaves fence posts and racks rails, and it rots untreated wood at the ground line. Almost every leaning fence in this area is a post problem. The posts were either set in tamped soil instead of concrete, or they were set in concrete but the wood wasn't pressure-treated pine or cedar, and moisture found its way in.

Our team knows this ground. We set posts in concrete below the frost line, use pressure-treated pine or cedar for all below-grade wood, and space posts at 6 feet on center for chain link and 4 feet for privacy fence to handle the heave. We've repaired hundreds of fences in Kirby where the homeowner thought replacement was the only option. Most of the time, a new set of posts with proper concrete and treated wood gets another 15 to 20 years out of the existing panels.

We're fully insured and bonded, and we're members of the American Fence Association. We've been doing this work in San Antonio and Kirby since 2015.

How a Fence Job Works in Kirby

You call us at (830) 266-4023 or reach out online, and we schedule a free on-site assessment. We walk your property, look at the existing fence or the line where you want to install one, check the soil and drainage, and talk through what will work best for your budget and your property. If you have an existing survey, we work from that. If you're not sure where your property line is, that's a conversation with a licensed land surveyor, not us. We'll tell you what we see and what we recommend.

Once we agree on the scope and price, we pull any required permits through the City of Kirby and schedule the work. Before we dig a single post hole, we call 811 for a utility locate. That's the law in Texas, and we follow it every time. We set posts in concrete, install rails and stringers, and hang panels or chain link. If it's a gate, we hang it plumb, set the hinges, and test the swing and latch. We haul off all debris and leave your property clean.

We walk through the finished fence with you, show you how to care for it, and answer any questions. If it's wood, we'll tell you when it might need staining or sealing. If it's chain link, we'll tell you what to watch for. We stand behind our work.

Pricing for fence work in Kirby depends on material, length, and whether you're installing new or repairing existing. Chain link runs from $16 per linear foot and is the most economical choice for large properties or where you want visibility. Pressure-treated pine privacy fence starts at $27 per linear foot. Vinyl or PVC runs from $38 per linear foot and needs no staining. Ornamental aluminum or iron starts at $42 per linear foot. Repair work for a leaning fence or broken panels runs from $450 and often costs far less than replacement. A full fence replacement or removal starts at $2,400 depending on length and material. Gates run from $475 for a standard single gate to $2,800 and up for automatic driveway gates. Every job is different, and the best way to know what your fence will cost is a free on-site estimate. Call us at (830) 266-4023 and we'll give you a real number based on what we see at your property.

My fence is leaning badly in Kirby. Do I have to replace the whole thing?

Not always. If the panels and rails are sound, the problem is almost certainly the posts. Kirby's clay soil heaves fence posts, especially if they were set in tamped soil instead of concrete. We can dig out the bad posts, set new ones in concrete below the heave line, and reuse your existing panels. That repair costs a fraction of replacement and buys you another 15 to 20 years. We'll look at it free and tell you whether repair or replacement makes sense for your fence.

What's the difference between pressure-treated pine and cedar for a privacy fence in Kirby?

Both resist rot better than untreated wood, but they're different. Pressure-treated pine is more economical and holds up well in our wet clay soil. Cedar looks better, has a natural grain, and smells good, but it costs more and needs re-staining every two to three years in our humidity. Both will last 15 to 20 years if the posts are set in concrete and the ground drains well. We install both and can show you samples.

Do I need a permit to install a fence in Kirby?

Yes, Kirby requires a permit for most fence work. We pull the permit for you as part of the job. The City of Kirby also has height and setback rules, usually 6 feet in the back and 4 feet on the side, but those rules can vary depending on where your property sits and whether you're in a master-planned community. We know the local rules and we'll make sure your fence is compliant before we start digging.

My homeowners association has rules about fence material and color. Do you work with HOAs?

Yes. We work with HOA rules all the time in the San Antonio area. Bring us your architectural guidelines and we'll make sure the fence meets them before we order materials. If your HOA requires approval, we can help you document the proposal. HOA rules vary, so it's on you to verify what's allowed, but we'll make sure what we build complies with what you tell us the rules are.

A storm knocked down part of my fence in Kirby. How quickly can you repair it?

Call us right away at (830) 266-4023. We respond to storm damage in Kirby and the San Antonio area and can often get to you within a few days depending on how many other jobs we have. We'll assess the damage, document it with photos, and give you a repair estimate. If you're filing an insurance claim, we can help you document the damage. We can't promise your claim will be approved or what your deductible will be, but we'll give you honest pricing and good work.

How much does it cost to repair a gate that's dragging or off its hinges?

Gate repair starts at $475. The actual cost depends on what's wrong. A dragging gate might just need the hinges adjusted or the latch reset, which is a quick visit. If the hinges are bent or the gate frame is racked, we might need to rehang it or brace it. We'll come out, look at it, and give you a real price. Most gate repairs are straightforward and cost less than a new gate.

I want to install a pool fence in Kirby. What are the rules?

Texas law requires a pool barrier that meets local code. In Kirby, that usually means a fence at least 4 feet tall with no gaps larger than 4 inches, self-closing and self-latching gates, and proper spacing for pickets and rails. We install pool fencing to meet local pool barrier codes, but the final determination of compliance rests with the City of Kirby or the authority having jurisdiction. We recommend you check with the building department or your HOA before we start, and we'll make sure what we build meets the standards you show us. A pool barrier is not a substitute for supervision.
