Fence Replacement
When it's past saving, we take the old fence out and build a new one that fits your yard and your style.
Wood and Vinyl
Classic wood privacy fences or low-maintenance vinyl, depending on what you want to live with.

How to Tell What Your Fence Really Needs
Here's the rule of thumb we go by when we look a fence over, and we'll point out what we're seeing before we recommend anything.
Usually a repair
- One or two posts are leaning or loose, and the rest are solid.
- A handful of pickets are cracked, warped or missing.
- A gate sags or drags but the frame is still sound.
- The wood looks gray and tired but isn't soft when you press on it.
Usually time to replace
- Several posts have rotted at the ground and the fence moves when you push it.
- Long runs are leaning, or the last storm laid sections flat.
- The bottoms of the pickets are soft or crumbling along most of the line.
- You've already patched it more than once and it keeps coming back.

Stain Is What Makes a Wood Fence Last
Bare wood takes a beating in Houston. The sun bleaches it gray, the humidity feeds mildew, and every rain soaks into the grain and swells it. That cycle is what splits boards and rots posts years earlier than they should.
A good stain blocks the UV and slows the water down, and it brings back the warm color of the wood. Before any stain goes on, we wash the fence, so the stain soaks into clean wood instead of sealing dirt and mildew underneath.
If you'd like the fence washed on a regular schedule, it can go on a scheduled maintenance agreement with the rest of your pressure washing.
Blocks the Sun
UV protection keeps the boards from going gray and brittle.
Sheds the Rain
Water beads up instead of soaking in and swelling the wood.
Brings Back the Color
Your fence looks like it was built this year instead of a decade ago.

Common questions
Fence Questions We Hear
Not sure whether your fence can be saved? Text us a couple of photos and we'll give you our honest take.
How often should a wood fence be stained?
In our climate, every few years is a good rhythm, depending on how much sun the fence gets and the kind of stain used. When water stops beading up on the boards, it's time.
Can you stain a fence right after it's built?
New wood usually needs some time to dry out before it'll take stain well. We'll let you know when your new fence is ready for it.
Will pressure washing damage my fence?
It can if it's done carelessly, because too much pressure furs up the wood and gouges soft boards. We clean fences with the right pressure for the wood and let the cleaner do most of the work.
Do you repair fences you didn't build?
Of course. It doesn't matter who built it. If it can be saved, we'll fix it.
Should I choose wood or vinyl?
Wood looks warm and natural and is easy to repair a board at a time, but it needs cleaning and stain to last. Vinyl costs more up front, but it needs very little upkeep beyond an occasional wash. We'll talk through which fits your yard and budget.
What happens to the old fence?
Taking the old fence out is part of a replacement, and we'll go over cleanup and haul-off when we price the job so there are no surprises.
