Schertz sits at the crossroads of the San Antonio metro, where the I-35 corridor mixes older cedar-lined neighborhoods with fast-growing new subdivisions toward Cibolo. Your fence is one of the first things a buyer or neighbor sees, and in Schertz's mix of 1990s-2000s homes and newer construction, fence repair and replacement are constant work.

San Antonio Fence Company has served Schertz and the surrounding area since 2015. We handle the fences that define your property line, whether that's a sagging cedar privacy fence that's reached the end of its life, a chain link gate that's dragging on the ground, or storm damage that needs honest assessment and repair. We're fully insured and bonded, and we work from your existing survey to install on the line you identify.

Fence Service in Schertz (78154)

Schertz homeowners know the problem: the I-35 corridor is lined with cedar and pressure-treated pine fences installed in the 1990s and 2000s. Cedar holds its color for a few years, then weathers gray. Both species rot at the ground line where moisture sits, especially in our humid climate. Posts set in tamped soil heave and shift over time. The result is a fence that leans, sags, or fails at the post. That's not a panel problem, it's a post problem, and it's fixable if caught early.

Newer subdivisions toward Cibolo bring their own challenges: HOA architectural standards that govern fence height, material, and color; master-planned lots with tight setbacks; and pool barriers that must meet state law and local code. Our crews know Schertz. We coordinate with HOAs, we work in tight spaces, and we pull the required Texas 811 utility locates before we dig a single post hole.

How a Fence Job Works in Schertz

Step 1: Free On-Site Assessment. Call us at (830) 266-4023 or contact us online. We visit your property, look at what's there, and listen to what you need. If your fence is leaning or sagging, we diagnose whether repair makes sense or replacement is the better spend. If you're building new, we walk the property line with you, confirm setbacks and HOA rules, and give you a realistic price.

Step 2: The Work. We pull the 811 utility locates. Our crews set posts in concrete at proper spacing (typically 4 to 6 feet, depending on fence type and local code), install stringers level, and hang pickets or panels square. For chain link, we tension the mesh correctly and install tension bands and stretcher bar so the fence stays tight. For wood, we use cedar or pressure-treated pine, cap the posts, and trim clean. For vinyl, we work with PVC panels and rails sized for our climate. Gates get self-closing, self-latching hardware and proper bracing so they swing smooth and don't sag.

Step 3: Cleanup and Walkthrough. We haul all debris, leave your property clean, and walk you through the finished fence. If we've repaired a section, we explain what we fixed and what to watch. If we've replaced the run, we tell you what maintenance keeps it sound for years.

Schertz fence costs depend on what you're building and what's in the ground. A chain link fence runs from $16 per linear foot; wood privacy fence from $27 per linear foot; vinyl from $38 per linear foot; and ornamental metal from $42 per linear foot. Repair jobs start at $450. A full fence replacement for a typical Schertz residential lot (100 to 150 linear feet) typically runs $2,400 to $5,700 depending on material and post condition. Gates add $475 to $2,800 depending on whether you want manual or automatic operation. Cost factors include the number of posts that need replacement, whether you're removing an old fence, soil conditions (our clay soil sometimes requires deeper post holes), and whether the line is straight or has corners and angles. Call us at (830) 266-4023 for a free estimate. We'll walk your fence, give you a real number, and explain what drives the price.

My cedar fence along the I-35 side of my lot is gray and weathered. Should I stain it or replace it?

If the posts are solid and the boards aren't rotted at the base, staining is worth doing. We clean and re-stain cedar every two to three years in our humid climate. But if the posts are leaning, or if you see soft wood at the ground line, replacement is the real answer. We'll look at it on-site and tell you which makes sense.

A spring storm bent my gate and cracked a few panels. Can you fix it or do I need a new fence?

We assess storm damage for free. Sometimes a gate hinge is bent and the gate operator needs adjustment, and the fence is fine. Sometimes posts are shifted and panels are cracked. We document what we see and explain what repair costs versus replacement. If you have homeowners insurance, we can help you document the damage for a claim. Call us at (830) 266-4023.

What's the difference between a fence set in concrete versus tamped soil?

Posts set in concrete stay put. Posts tamped in soil alone shift and heave over time, especially in our expansive clay. Concrete cost more upfront but lasts much longer. We set posts in concrete on all new work and on repairs where the post is staying.

Do I need a permit to replace my fence in Schertz?

Schertz and Bexar County have specific fence height, setback, and material rules. Some jurisdictions require a permit, others don't. If you're in a master-planned community, your HOA has architectural standards. We know the local rules and coordinate with the city and HOA before we start. Call us at (830) 266-4023 and we'll confirm what applies to your property.

My neighbor's oak branch hangs over my fence line. Can I cut it or trim it back?

Property line rules in Texas are clear: you can trim branches that hang over your line back to the property boundary, but you can't cross the line to cut on your neighbor's side. If a branch is large or near power lines, we recommend a certified arborist. For fence questions, we work from your existing survey and install on the line you identify.

Are you fully insured for fence work on my property?

Yes. We're fully insured and bonded. General liability and workers' compensation cover our crew and your property. Our AFA Member Installer credential confirms we meet American Fence Association standards for quality and safety.

I have a pool in my backyard. What fence height and material does Schertz code require?

Pool barrier requirements are set by Texas state law and local code. Typically a 4-foot fence with self-closing, self-latching gates. We install pool fencing to meet local pool barrier codes. Final determination rests with the authority having jurisdiction, which is the city of Schertz. We recommend checking with the Schertz Building Department to confirm current requirements for your lot. A barrier is a safety layer, not a substitute for supervision.
