| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Wood & Privacy Fence Installation | From $27/ft | San Antonio's classic 6-ft cedar privacy fence; built for intense Texas sun and shifting clay. Pressure-treated posts set in concrete; cedar or treated-pine pickets; board-on-board or side-by-side. We tell you honestly when cedar is worth it and when treated pine is the smarter budget call. |
| Vinyl & PVC Fence Installation | From $38/ft | Low-maintenance vinyl privacy; picket and ranch-rail fencing that shrugs off sprinklers; UV and South Texas heat. Manufacturer-backed panels; correct post spacing and concrete-set footings; no warping shortcuts. Honest guidance on where vinyl beats wood and where it doesn't. |
| Chain Link Fence Installation | From $16/ft | Galvanized and black vinyl-coated chain link for yards; pets and commercial lots. The toughest fence per dollar in San Antonio: correct gauge; properly tensioned mesh and braced corners; privacy slats or windscreen where you need them. |
| Aluminum & Ornamental Iron Fencing | From $42/ft | Powder-coated aluminum and ornamental iron fencing for pools; front yards and estates. Rust-resistant panels; clean welds and racked installation on sloped Hill Country lots: the premium look that actually holds up to South Texas sun and storms. |
| Fence Repair | From $450 | Leaning sections; broken pickets; sagging gates and wind-damaged panels repaired in every fence material. We tell you honestly when a repair will hold and when replacement is the better spend. Most repairs are completed in a single visit. |
| Storm Damage Fence Repair | Free damage assessment | After hail; straight-line winds or a spring storm we rebuild fallen sections fast: same line; same look; stronger posts. We assess the damage and document it with photos and a written estimate to help your insurance claim. |
| Fence Post Repair & Replacement | From $450 | Expansive blackland clay heaves posts and ground-line moisture rots them; the reason most San Antonio fences lean. We reset or replace posts in fresh concrete, drilling through caliche and limestone where north-side lots demand it, plumb; braced; saving the rest of your fence instead of selling you a new one. |
| Gate Installation & Repair | From $475 | Custom wood; vinyl and metal gates built square and hung right. Adjustable hinges; self-latching hardware and anti-sag bracing; plus rebuilds of dragging or misaligned gates; usually the first part of any fence to fail. |
| Automatic & Driveway Gates | From $2,800 | Sliding and swing driveway gates with professional-grade openers; keypads and safety sensors. Installation and repair on all major opener brands; plus solar-powered options for Hill Country and ranch properties without trenched power. |
| Pool Fence Installation | From $34/ft | Aluminum; mesh and glass pool barriers installed to meet Texas and local pool fence codes. That means 48-inch minimum height with self-closing self-latching gates; and we walk the requirements with you before a single post is set. |
| Fence Replacement & Removal | From $2,400 | Complete tear-out; haul-away and rebuild, or a straight removal if that's all you need. We reuse what's sound; replace what isn't; and quote repair versus full replacement side by side so you decide with real numbers. |
| Fence Staining & Restoration | From $950 | Professional cleaning; brightening and stain-sealing for cedar fences. Done right it can double the life of the wood under the brutal San Antonio sun; and we tell you when staining still makes sense and when the wood is past saving. |
| Commercial & Temporary Fencing | Free site quote | Commercial chain link; security fencing; temporary construction fence and silt fence for Greater San Antonio jobsites. Fast installs; code-aware layouts and volume pricing for builders; GCs and property managers. |
| Farm & Ranch Fencing | From $12/ft | Ranch rail; no-climb horse fence; field wire and pipe fencing for acreage across South Texas. We cover Medina; Wilson; Atascosa; Bandera and Comal counties with straight lines over long runs; braced corners and gates sized for trailers and equipment. |
What Affects the Price
- Fence Material and Style : Chain link is the most budget-friendly option, while ornamental iron and automatic gates represent premium investments. Wood offers a middle ground with natural beauty, while vinyl provides durability with minimal maintenance.
- Linear Footage and Project Size : Most fence installations are priced per linear foot, so longer projects benefit from economies of scale. Our pricing reflects material costs and labor efficiency across different fence lengths.
- Site Conditions and Terrain : Sloped yards, rocky soil, or difficult access can increase installation time and labor costs. We assess your property during the free estimate to account for these factors.
- Existing Fence Removal and Prep Work : If you're replacing an old fence, removal and site preparation add to the project cost. Storm damage repairs may require additional assessment and structural reinforcement.
