Working in Austin
Constant moisture and termites attack wood posts, and storms test every panel and gate. Ask about rot-resistant or treated posts, wind-rated spacing in storm zones, and whether vinyl or aluminum makes more sense than wood for that yard.

Questions
Do you take fence and deck installation jobs in Austin?
Yes. Requests from Austin, Houston, San Antonio, Dallas and the rest of Texas are handled the same way. Use the quote form on this page, or email [email protected] with the service, the address and the timing.
Which fence material is best?
It depends on what the fence is for. Wood is the most flexible for privacy and looks, but it needs staining every few years. Vinyl costs more up front and needs very little upkeep. Chain-link is the most economical way to enclose a yard or keep a dog in. Aluminum suits pools and front yards where you want a barrier without blocking the view. A good quote can compare two options side by side.
How deep should fence posts go?
A common rule is about a third of the post length in the ground. In cold climates the bottom of the post or footing should also sit below the local frost line, so the ground does not push it up in winter. Soil, wind exposure and fence height matter too, which is why post depth belongs in the quote.
Do I need a permit for a fence or a deck?
Often for decks, especially raised decks attached to the house, and sometimes for fences, depending on height and location. Pool enclosures have their own rules almost everywhere. Requirements vary by municipality, so the quote should say whether a permit is needed and who applies for it.
How much does a new fence or deck cost?
Fences are priced mostly by length, height, material, the number of gates and how hard the digging is. Decks depend on size, height off the ground, framing, decking material, railings and stairs. Tearing out an old fence or deck adds to the job. The reliable number is a written quote after the site is measured.
Wood or composite for a deck?
Pressure-treated wood costs less and can be stained any colour, but it needs washing and staining every few years and can split or crack. Composite costs more up front, keeps its colour longer and never needs staining, though it can get hot in full sun. Many decks use pressure-treated framing under composite boards.
