Our Austin Fence Services
Austin Fence Contractors specializes in residential and commercial fencing across the Austin area. We work with homeowners to build functional, attractive fences designed for Central Texas—clay soil, intense heat, sudden storms, and everything in between.
Fence Installation
New fence construction using wood, cedar, iron, chain link, vinyl, or composite materials, built to your specifications and designed for your property. We handle everything from material selection through final walkthrough. Learn more about our fence installation services.
Fence Repair
Storms, age, and Austin's shifting clay soil can take a toll on any fence. Leaning posts, broken pickets, sagging gates—we've seen it all and fixed it all. Our repair team assesses the damage and gives you honest options. Learn more about fence repair.
Fence Replacement
When repairs won’t restore safety, privacy, or curb appeal, our Fence Replacement service is the clean-slate solution. We’ll remove and haul away your old fence, inspect and prep the line (posts, footing areas, grade changes), and install a brand-new fence built to last.
Why Austin Homeowners Choose Austin Fence Contractors
Dedicated Fence Experts
We’re not a general contractor who does fences on the side. Fencing is all we do. Every project manager on our team focuses on fence projects only, which means you’re getting someone who understands post depth in Austin’s clay soil, which materials hold up best when temperatures push past 100 degrees, and how to build a fence that lasts.
9+ Years Serving Austin
We’ve been building fences across the Austin area for over 9 years. In that time, we’ve learned what works in this market. Cedar holds up better than pine in our humidity. Metal posts outlast wood posts in our soil conditions. And skipping the permit process is never worth the risk—that’s why we work with third-party partners who handle fence permits in Austin so you don’t have to.
100% Insured
Austin Fence Contractors is fully insured. Your property is protected from the moment we show up until the final walkthrough.
1-Year Workmanship Warranty
Every project comes with a 1-year workmanship warranty. If something goes wrong with our craftsmanship within that first year, we come back and fix it at no charge.
Real People, Real Answers
When you call us, you’re talking to a real person—a dedicated call center employee who works in-house with our team, not an AI chatbot or an outsourced answering service. You’ll get answers from someone who actually knows our scheduling, processes, and project managers.
Permit Coordination
While Central Texas does not require a state license for fence contractors, some cities, HOAs, and specific property types may still require permits, approvals, or compliance with setback and height rules. If a permit is needed, we coordinate the process through trusted third-party partners who specialize in permitting—so you’re not stuck figuring out forms, submittals, or timelines on your own.
We’ll help you identify what’s required based on your address and project scope, confirm key details such as fence height, location, gates, and material type, and ensure the paperwork is submitted correctly. We also keep you informed as approvals move forward, so your project can stay on schedule with fewer surprises.
Fence Types We Install in Austin
Every property is different, and the right fence depends on your goals, your budget, and your neighborhood’s requirements. Whether you’re focused on privacy, security, curb appeal, pet containment, or defining property lines, the style and structure you choose should support both function and appearance. We take the time to understand how you use your space, the layout of your yard, and any HOA or city guidelines that may apply before making recommendations.
Wood & Cedar Fences
The most popular choice in Austin. Cedar is naturally resistant to rot and insects, which matters in Central Texas where humidity and termites are a real concern. We build standard privacy fences, board-on-board fences, and custom designs.
Iron & Wrought Iron Fences
Great for front yards and properties where you want security without blocking the view. Durable, low-maintenance, and serious curb appeal. Popular in Tarrytown, Zilker, and Clarksville.
Chain Link Fences
The most budget-friendly option. Works well for backyards, dog runs, commercial properties, and temporary event fencing. Quick to install and built to last.
Vinyl & Composite Fences
Almost zero maintenance. No staining, no painting, no worrying about rot. Higher upfront cost, but many homeowners find the long-term savings worth it.
Horizontal Fences
Really popular in Austin, especially in Mueller, East Austin, and South Congress. Modern look that pairs well with contemporary homes. Same privacy as a traditional vertical fence.
Pool Fences
Required by the City of Austin code for residential swimming pools. We install permanent pool fences and removable mesh options, all built to meet local safety regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How much does it cost to install a fence in Austin?
Fence costs depend on the material, the length of the fence, the terrain, and whether we’re removing an old fence first. Every property is different, so we provide free on-site estimates rather than guessing over the phone. That way you get an accurate number based on your specific project, not a generic range. Contact us for a free estimate.
2. Do I need a permit to build a fence in Austin?
In most cases, yes. The City of Austin requires a permit for fences over a certain height, and there are setback rules that affect where your fence can be placed. A license is not required for fence contractors in Central Texas. Permits, when required, are handled by trusted third-party partners. Read more about Austin fence laws and what homeowners need to know before installation.
3. What's the best fence material for Austin's climate?
Cedar is the most popular choice for a reason. It handles heat, humidity, and insects better than most other woods. Iron works well for front yards since it doesn’t warp or rot. Vinyl is a good option for truly low-maintenance fencing. The best choice depends on your goals and budget—we walk you through the options during your estimate.
4. How long does fence installation take?
Most residential fence installations take 1 to 3 days once materials are on-site. Larger commercial projects or custom designs may take longer. We provide a projected timeline during the estimate so you know exactly what to expect.
5. My fence was damaged in a storm. Can you repair it?
Absolutely. Storm damage is one of the most common calls we get, especially after spring and fall storms roll through Austin. We assess the damage and let you know if a repair makes sense or if you’re looking at a full replacement. Either way, we get your property secured quickly.
6. How do I know if I need fence repair or full replacement?
If your fence is leaning in one or two spots, has a few broken pickets, or a gate that won’t close, a repair is usually the way to go. If it’s rotting at the base, leaning in multiple sections, or the posts have shifted from years of soil movement, replacement makes more sense. We give you an honest assessment either way. Read our detailed guide on fence repair vs. replacement.
7. What are Austin's fence height rules?
The City of Austin has specific height limits depending on where the fence sits on your property. Front yard, side yard, and back yard fences all have different rules. We cover all of this in detail in our article on fence height and property line rules in Austin.
8. Does my HOA have rules about fences?
Most HOAs in Austin have restrictions on fence materials, heights, colors, and styles. Some require approval before you start building. We’ve worked with dozens of HOAs across Austin and can help you figure out what’s allowed before we begin. For a full breakdown, read our guide on HOA fence rules and restrictions in Austin.
9. Can I build a fence on the property line?
This depends on several factors including city code and your relationship with your neighbor. Texas law has specific rules about shared fences and property line boundaries. We recommend reading our guide on Texas fence laws and liability and how to handle fence disputes with neighbors before making a decision.
10. Are you insured?
Yes. Austin Fence Contractors is 100% insured. This protects you, your property, and our crew throughout the construction process. We provide proof of insurance upon request.
11. What warranty do you offer?
Austin Fence Contractors provides a 1-year workmanship warranty covering our labor and installation. If something we built isn’t right within that first year, we come back and fix it at no additional cost.
12. What does the workmanship warranty cover?
The 1-year workmanship warranty covers defects in our construction—things like leaning posts, improperly secured pickets, sagging gates, or structural issues resulting from our installation. Normal wear, weather damage, and homeowner modifications are not covered.
13. Do you handle fence permits?
A license is not required for fence contractors in Central Texas. Permits, when required, are handled by trusted third-party partners. You don’t have to visit permit offices or navigate the process yourself. We coordinate everything so your project stays on track.
14. What types of fences do you install?
We install wood, cedar, iron, wrought iron, chain link, vinyl, composite, horizontal, bull panel, and pool fences. We also handle custom fence designs. Whatever material or style you’re considering, we can walk you through the options.
15. What type of wood do you recommend for Austin?
Cedar is our top recommendation. It’s naturally resistant to rot and insects, which is critical in Central Texas where humidity and termites are constant concerns. Pressure-treated pine is a more affordable option that holds up well with proper maintenance. Both require periodic staining or sealing.
16. Do you build commercial fences?
Yes. We handle commercial fencing projects including perimeter fences for businesses, security fencing, temporary event fencing, and fencing for schools and restaurants. Same warranty, same quality, same team.
17. How do I get a free estimate?
Call us at (512) 566-7567 or contact us online to schedule a free on-site estimate. We’ll come to your property, measure the area, discuss your options, and provide a detailed quote. No obligation, no pressure.
18. What areas do you serve?
19. Will you handle everything, or do I need to hire other contractors?
We handle fence construction from start to finish—material selection, permits through our third-party partners, removal of old fencing, and installation. You don’t need to manage multiple contractors.
20. What is the best time of year to build a fence in Austin?
We build fences year-round in Austin. Fall and spring offer the most comfortable working conditions, but summer and winter projects are common. Weather rarely stops construction for more than a day or two. We schedule around extreme conditions to keep your project on track.
