Fence Installation & Repair in San Antonio
A well-built fence gives you privacy and a clean property line. We build new fences, replace worn-out ones, and repair damaged sections with treated pine, Alta Premium Treated, and Western Red Cedar dog-ear pickets, 6 ft and 8 ft tall, on treated wood or metal posts. We’ll go over which picket and post fit your property and budget. Ask us about other wood species; availability depends on local supply.
Do I need to repair this fence or replace it?
Start with the posts. Pickets are easy to swap; the posts are what hold the fence up. If a few pickets are broken or one section blew down and the posts are still solid, a repair or a partial replacement is usually enough. If posts are rotted at the ground along the run, or the fence leans in several places, a new fence is usually the better use of your money.
New fence installation
New runs and full replacements in treated pine, Alta Premium Treated, or Western Red Cedar, 6 ft or 8 ft tall, on treated wood or galvanized metal posts.
Fence repairs
Storm-blown sections, rotten posts, and broken pickets, fixed so the line stands straight again.
Partial fence replacement
When only part of the fence needs work, including shared-line rebuilds, we match the height and picket style you already have and keep the good sections in place.
Gates
Walk gates and drive gates built to match the fence. A gate that sags or drags usually traces back to the post it hangs on, which is why we often use metal posts at gates.
