Serving Kerrville, TX and surrounding areas. (830) 386-1933
When repair is no longer worth it, we remove your old fence completely and install a new one built to handle Hill Country soil, heat, and your property needs.
Fence replacement in Kerrville means removing your old fence completely - posts, rails, and all - and installing a brand-new one from the ground up, with new posts set in fresh concrete and new materials chosen for your goals and budget. Most residential jobs take one to three days on-site.
A lot of homeowners come to us asking whether they should repair or replace. The honest answer depends on how much of the fence has structural problems, not just cosmetic ones. If posts are leaning, boards are rotting at the base, or gaps have opened across multiple sections, patching individual spots usually costs more over the next few years than starting fresh. Kerrville's rocky soil, intense heat cycles, and occasional strong storms tend to age fences unevenly - one compromised post often signals others are not far behind.
If only a section or two is damaged, a targeted fence repair might be the better call. Not sure which situation you are in? Give us a call and we will walk your fence and give you a straight answer.
Walk your fence line and give each post a firm push. If it moves, rocks, or leans noticeably, the post base has failed - from rot, from Hill Country soil shifting, or from the freeze-thaw cycle working the concrete loose over time. A leaning post cannot be fixed by tightening boards. The post itself needs to come out and be reset, and when multiple posts are affected, replacement is the more practical path.
Press a screwdriver tip into the base of a few pickets and posts near ground level. If the wood feels soft, spongy, or the screwdriver sinks in easily, that wood is rotting from the inside out. Summer rain followed by intense Kerrville heat creates ideal conditions for decay at ground contact points - and rot at the base spreads faster than most people expect.
Gaps that were not there when the fence was new are a sign the structure is moving or wood is shrinking from years of Kerrville's heat cycles. Gaps wide enough for a dog to squeeze through, or for deer to push through, defeat the whole purpose of having a fence. When gaps appear across multiple sections rather than one isolated spot, replacement becomes more cost-effective than section-by-section repair.
Hill Country thunderstorms and straight-line winds can leave a fence standing but visibly damaged - cracked rails, missing pickets, posts knocked off plumb. If more than a third of your fence sections show this kind of damage, the cost of repairing each section individually usually exceeds the cost of a clean replacement with new posts set in fresh concrete.
We handle the complete replacement process - tear-out of the old fence with haul-off included, permit application to the City of Kerrville, 811 utility marking before any digging starts, post holes set in properly mixed concrete, and the full fence build. We work in cedar, pine, vinyl, chain link, aluminum, and ornamental iron, so you are not locked into replacing with the same material you had before. If your old fence served you for 15 years but you want less maintenance going forward, this is a good opportunity to look at different options.
Gates are part of every replacement conversation - whether you need a simple walk-through or a double drive gate, we build and hang them as part of the job. If you are thinking about a wood fence installation and want to factor in maintenance from day one, we can include an initial stain and seal as part of the build. For isolated problem areas where the rest of the fence is sound, a targeted fence repair may be worth considering first - we will tell you honestly which makes more financial sense after we walk your property.
Suited for homeowners with an aging wood fence where posts and boards have failed across most of the run - cedar and pressure-treated options available.
Good option if you want to switch from wood to vinyl, aluminum, or ornamental iron to reduce future maintenance while getting a fresh start.
Ideal when a large section has failed but the rest of the fence is sound - we remove the compromised section only and rebuild to match.
Best for properties replacing the entire fence line and adding or upgrading walk-through or drive gates at the same time.
Kerrville sits in the Texas Hill Country, where the ground is often a thin layer of soil over solid limestone bedrock. Digging post holes here is harder and slower than in soft-soil areas - experienced local contractors use hydraulic rock augers to get through it, and that equipment and time factors into your cost estimate. A crew that has not worked in Hill Country conditions before will often hit that rock and slow down unexpectedly. We build our quotes around actual conditions, not best-case assumptions, so there are no surprises when the drills go in. The City of Kerrville also requires a permit for fence replacements, and we handle the permit application before any work begins - it is a standard part of our process, not an add-on.
Deer pressure is another factor specific to this area. Homeowners in Ingram, TX and Center Point, TX frequently replace fences specifically because the old fence was not tall or solid enough to keep deer out of gardens and landscaped areas. A replacement is the right time to address that problem at the root - choosing a height and material that actually solves it rather than just looking good from the street. We build to the spec that works, and we know what the City of Kerrville permits allow in terms of height and placement.
We ask a few basic questions - how much fence you need replaced, what material you are considering, and whether you have HOA requirements. You will hear back within one business day, and we schedule a site visit soon after.
We walk the full fence line with you, take measurements, and check the ground conditions - including how close the rock is to the surface, which is common in the Hill Country. You get a written estimate that breaks down materials, labor, permit fees, and haul-off so nothing is hidden.
Once you approve the estimate, we submit the required permit to the City of Kerrville and call 811 to have underground utility lines marked before any digging starts. This typically takes a few business days. You do not need to visit city hall - we handle the paperwork.
On the first work day, the crew removes your old fence and hauls it away. New posts go into concrete that day or the next. Most residential replacements are done in one to three days total. We walk the fence with you at the end before leaving so you can flag anything that needs attention.
Free written estimate, permits handled, no surprise bills. We walk your property and give you a clear picture of what it costs before anyone picks up a shovel.
(830) 386-1933Hill Country bedrock is one of the most common reasons fences fail early in Kerrville - shallow post holes in rocky ground loosen faster than posts set in proper depth. We come prepared with the right equipment, quote the job based on real conditions, and set posts deep enough to last. A contractor who acts surprised by rock in Kerrville has not worked here much.
The City of Kerrville requires a permit for fence replacement, and we pull it before a single post goes in the ground. That protects you legally and ensures your fence meets local height and setback rules - which matters when you eventually sell. We handle all the paperwork; you do not need to visit any city office.
You get a written, itemized estimate that includes materials, labor, permit fees, old fence haul-off, and cleanup - all spelled out before you decide anything. One of the biggest concerns homeowners have when hiring a contractor is the bill coming in higher than the quote. That will not happen here. What we quote is what you pay.
On tear-out day, the crew removes your old fence completely - posts, rails, boards - and hauls the debris away as part of the job. This is confirmed in writing in your estimate. Some contractors treat debris removal as an extra charge; we include it because leaving a pile of old fencing in your yard is not a completed job.
Replacing a fence is a significant investment, and it deserves to be done in a way that holds for the next 15 to 20 years. The combination of proper post depth, correct permit process, and materials chosen for this climate is what gets you there.
