Selma is growing fast along the I-35 corridor, with newer subdivisions, retail frontage, and commercial properties that all need solid fencing and gate security. Whether you own a home in one of Selma's master-planned communities, manage a commercial property near the highway, or operate a farm or ranch in the surrounding area, a well-built fence is one of the most practical investments you can make.

San Antonio Fence Company has been serving Selma (78154) and the surrounding San Antonio area since 2015. We install and repair wood privacy fences, vinyl, chain link, ornamental metal, gates, and automatic driveway gates. Our crews are fully insured and bonded, and we're members of the American Fence Association. When you call us, the same team that built your fence will show up to fix it or upgrade it later, and we'll give you honest advice about what your property actually needs.

Fencing and Gates for Selma Property Owners

Selma sits at a crossroads of residential growth and commercial development. You'll find everything from single-family homes in newer subdivisions to commercial frontage along I-35, plus working farms and ranches in the surrounding area. The soil here is typical of the Greater San Antonio region: expansive clay that swells when wet and shrinks when dry. That cycle heaves fence posts and racks rails, which is why almost every leaning fence in this market is a post problem, not a panel problem. Posts set in concrete, spaced correctly, and maintained properly will hold straight for years. Posts just tamped in earth will fail.

We've served Selma homeowners, property managers, and business owners for nearly a decade. We understand the local code, work with HOAs, and know how to build fences that stand up to the climate and soil here. Whether you need a privacy fence around your backyard, a chain link enclosure for a commercial lot, a pool barrier installed to code, or an automatic gate at your driveway, we do the work right the first time.

How a Fence Job Works in Selma

Step 1: Free On-Site Assessment. Call us at (830) 266-4023 or request a quote online. We'll schedule a time to walk your property, discuss what you need, check local setback and height rules (which vary by jurisdiction in the Selma area), and confirm any HOA restrictions if you're in a master-planned community. We'll also talk about utility locates if you're digging post holes. Texas law requires a utility locate (call 811) before any digging, and we'll make sure that happens before we break ground.

Step 2: The Work. Our crews show up on time with the materials and tools needed to do the job right. We set posts in concrete at proper spacing, install rails and pickets (or panels) plumb and level, and use hardware that won't sag or fail. If you're getting a gate, we'll install hinges, latches, and bracing so it swings freely and closes smoothly. If it's an automatic gate, we'll set up the operator and test it thoroughly. We work clean and respect your property.

Step 3: Cleanup and Walkthrough. When we're done, we haul away all scrap and debris, sweep up, and walk you through the finished fence or gate. We explain maintenance (like when to stain a cedar fence or how to keep a vinyl fence looking new), answer your questions, and leave you with a warranty on the work.

Pricing for fencing in Selma depends on the material, the length of fence, post spacing, soil conditions, and whether you're replacing an old fence or building new. A basic chain link fence starts around $16 per linear foot. Wood privacy fence runs from $27 per linear foot. Vinyl and PVC fencing start at $38 per linear foot, and ornamental metal fencing begins at $42 per linear foot. Fence repair jobs typically start at $450. A complete fence replacement or removal might run $2,400 or more depending on the scope. Automatic driveway gates start at $2,800. The best way to know what your project will cost is to call us for a free estimate. We'll look at your property, understand what you need, and give you a straightforward price. Call (830) 266-4023 today.

Why do fences lean in Selma, and is it always the posts?

Yes, almost always. Selma's expansive clay soil swells when it rains and shrinks when it dries. That cycle heaves fence posts out of the ground and racks the rails. If your fence is leaning, the posts have shifted. The pickets or panels themselves are usually still good. We can replace the bad posts, reset them deeper in concrete, and straighten the fence. That's a repair, not a full replacement, and it costs a fraction of a new fence.

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

Permit requirements vary depending on where in Selma you are and what kind of fence you're building. If you're in a master-planned community, your HOA may have rules about height, material, and color that you need to follow before we even dig a hole. The city or county may also require a permit. We'll help you figure out what applies to your property and work with your HOA if needed. The key is to get it right before we start, not after. Call us at (830) 266-4023 and we'll walk you through it.

How much does it cost to replace a rotted fence post?

A single post replacement typically runs $450 or more, depending on how deep the post is set, what material it's made of, and whether the rails and pickets need straightening after we pull the old post. If you have multiple bad posts, we can often do them as part of a larger repair job at a better rate per post. The best way to prevent post rot is to set posts in concrete at the proper depth and keep the ground around the base draining well. Pressure-treated pine holds up longer than untreated wood in wet soil.

What fencing material works best in Selma's climate?

All three main materials work here, but each has trade-offs. Pressure-treated pine and cedar are affordable and look natural, but they need staining every two to three years because of the humidity and sun. Vinyl and PVC don't rot and don't need staining, but they cost more upfront. Chain link is durable and low-maintenance but doesn't offer privacy. Ornamental metal (aluminum or iron) looks great but is the most expensive. We'll help you pick the right material for your budget, your property, and how much maintenance you want to do.

Can you install a pool fence that meets Selma code?

Yes. Pool barrier fencing is installed to meet local pool barrier codes. The specific requirements depend on your city or county and the type of pool you have. We'll build the fence to code, but final compliance determination rests with your local authority having jurisdiction (usually the city or county building department). We recommend you confirm the local requirements before we start, and we can help you understand what we're building and why. A pool fence is a safety barrier, but it's not a substitute for supervision.

Are your crews fully insured and bonded?

Yes. San Antonio Fence Company is fully insured and bonded. We carry general liability and workers' compensation insurance. If there's any damage to your property during the work, we can help you document it for an insurance claim. We take safety and protection seriously, and we want you to have peace of mind while we're on your property.

What should I do if a storm damages my fence in Selma?

Call us right away at (830) 266-4023. We offer free damage assessments for storm-damaged fences. We'll come out, look at what happened, and give you an honest repair estimate. If a section of fence is flattened or panels are torn off, we can often replace just the damaged sections instead of the whole fence. If you need to file an insurance claim, we can help document the damage. Storm work is priced honestly, and we don't use scare tactics. We just fix what's broken.
