Common questions
Do I need a permit for a fence?
It depends on the city, height, location, corner visibility, easements, and HOA rules. The contractor should ask those questions before setting posts.
Is fence work licensed in Texas?
Texas does not issue a general fence contractor license. Look for insurance, local permit experience, utility locate habits, and clear material specs.
Should I use wood posts or metal posts?
Metal posts usually last longer in wind and wet soil. Wood posts cost less up front but rot faster, especially where sprinklers hit the fence or the soil stays damp.
Can you fix a sagging gate?
Yes. Sometimes it is hinges and latch hardware. Sometimes the gate is too heavy or the post is moving. The contractor checks the post first, because hardware will not fix a bad post.
How does salt air affect fencing?
Near Padre Island and the bay, fasteners, hinges, latches, and metal panels corrode faster. Galvanized or coated hardware helps, and regular rinse-downs can extend life.
Can you build a pool fence?
Yes, but pool barriers have specific height, gap, latch, and self-closing requirements. The contractor should build to the local code and inspection standard, not just what looks good.
Who calls 811 before digging?
The contractor should coordinate utility locates before post holes are dug. Sprinkler lines, private lighting, and low-voltage wires may not be marked by 811, so point those out.
Coastal Bend seasons
Spring (March - May)
Storm winds expose weak posts and loose panels. Good time for repairs before hurricane season.
Summer (June - August)
Heat slows digging and concrete cure planning. Salt air and sprinkler overspray accelerate hardware and post wear.
Fall (September - November)
Post-storm repairs and full replacements get busy after named storms. Utility locates and material supply can slow schedules.
Winter (December - February)
Good season for planned fence replacement because demand is usually lower and working weather is easier.
