Wood Types We Install

We’re experts at installing several premium wood fence types, including beautiful cedar and durable pressure-treated pine options for Houston homeowners.

Our cedar fences offer natural resistance to decay and insects, while our pressure-treated pine delivers excellent value and long-lasting performance in Houston’s climate.

We’ll help you compare the benefits of yellow pine versus cedar to select the perfect wood type for your property and budget.

White Picket Fences are a timeless symbol of the ideal American family life, often representing prosperity and security in neighborhoods.

Premium Cedar Fence Options

For decades, premium cedar has remained the top choice for Houston homeowners seeking durable, beautiful wood fencing. We install both Western Red Cedar and Northern White Cedar, offering you two exceptional options that combine natural beauty with long-lasting performance in our challenging Gulf Coast climate.

Our Western Red Cedar fences deliver rich, warm tones and natural resistance to decay, insects, and moisture. We source only premium grade cedar boards with minimal knots and splits, ensuring your fence maintains its appearance for years to come. When you choose this option, you’ll join countless satisfied Houston homeowners who’ve made Western Red Cedar their go-to choice.

For those seeking a lighter appearance, we recommend Northern White Cedar. It’s naturally resistant to rot and insect damage, while offering a distinctive pale honey color that many of our clients love. We can customize either cedar variety with your choice of picket styles, post caps, and decorative elements.

Both types accept stains and sealants beautifully, allowing you to protect your investment while achieving your desired aesthetic. We’ll help you select the cedar option that best suits your property and lifestyle.

Pressure Treated Pine Benefits

Searching for an economical yet long-lasting fencing solution? We proudly present pressure-treated pine as one of our most sought-after fencing options in Houston. This treated timber undergoes a specialized procedure where protective chemicals are forced deep into the wood’s cells, making it highly resistant to rot, decay, and insect infestations.

We’ve discovered that pressure-treated pine delivers exceptional value for our Houston clients. It’s naturally sturdy and, when properly treated, can last 15-20 years with minimal upkeep. You’ll appreciate that it costs notably less than cedar while still offering dependable performance in our humid climate.

Our pressure-treated pine fences come with built-in protection against termites and fungal decay, which is essential in Houston’s challenging weather conditions. We guarantee each board is properly kiln-dried and treated to industry standards before installation. The wood takes well to stains and sealants, allowing you to personalize your fence’s appearance while preserving its protective qualities.

You’ll also benefit from its environmental sustainability, as pressure-treated pine comes from managed forests and requires fewer replacements over time, making it an eco-conscious choice for your property.

Our Installation Process

We’ll walk you through our professional wood fence installation process that maximizes quality and longevity.

Our team starts with precise measurements and planning, followed by proper post hole digging, concrete setting, and expert panel installation using premium-grade materials.

We follow proven methods refined over years of experience, ensuring your fence is built to exact specifications while meeting all local building codes and requirements.

We emphasize the importance of regular inspections to maintain the durability and aesthetic appeal of your wood fence.

Step-by-Step Professional Setup

Professional fence installation requires careful planning and precise execution to guarantee lasting results. When we arrive at your property, we begin by marking utility lines and surveying the installation area to validate everyone’s safety. Our experienced team then maps out the exact fence line, accounting for property boundaries and any unique terrain features.

We believe in making every homeowner part of our trusted family of satisfied customers, which is why we follow a meticulous setup process that’s proven successful across Houston. Our crews start with proper post hole digging and concrete setting, allowing adequate curing time before proceeding with the next steps.

• We position and secure fence posts at precise depths and intervals, using specialized equipment to confirm perfect alignment
• Our team installs horizontal rails with exact measurements to maintain consistent spacing and structural integrity
• We carefully attach each picket or panel, making sure everything’s level and appropriately secured

Once the main structure is complete, we add any chosen decorative elements and apply protective treatments. We’ll do a final walk-through with you to validate everything meets our high standards and your expectations.

Quality Materials and Methods

Building on our thorough setup process, the quality of materials and methods we use sets our fence installations apart in Houston. We exclusively source premium-grade cedar and pressure-treated pine from trusted suppliers, confirming each board meets our strict standards for durability and appearance. Our lumber is carefully inspected for warping, knots, and defects before it ever reaches your property.

When installing posts, we dig holes 24 inches deep and use professional-grade concrete mix for maximum stability. We’re meticulous about post spacing, maintaining precise 8-foot intervals and using a laser level to guarantee perfect alignment. Our craftsmen construct each panel with galvanized nails and screws that resist rust and corrosion in Houston’s humid climate.

We implement proven techniques like toe-nailing pickets and using three horizontal rails instead of two, creating a sturdier structure that withstands high winds and weather. Each picket is carefully spaced using specialized gauges, ensuring uniform gaps and a polished look.

We also apply a protective sealant to all cut ends and surfaces, extending your fence’s lifespan and preserving its natural beauty.

Ranch Rail	Low	Large properties, rustic settings, horse areas

We’ll guide you through important design considerations like height requirements, gate placement, and local HOA regulations. Whether you’re looking for a classic white picket fence or a sturdy privacy barrier, we’ve got the expertise to bring your vision to life.

Materials and Quality Standards

We carefully select premium-grade cedar and pressure-treated pine through our rigorous wood inspection process that checks for straightness, moisture content, and minimal knots. Our lumber meets or exceeds the American Wood Protection Association’s standards, ensuring maximum durability and resistance to decay, insects, and weathering. We implement strict quality control measures at every stage, from material receiving to final installation, documenting each step to guarantee your fence meets our exacting specifications. Western Red Cedar is a strong, renewable, and durable wood that is resistant to insects, rot, and decay, and it contains natural oils that repel moisture.

Premium Wood Selection Process

Quality wood fencing starts with an up-front commitment to premium materials selection. At our Houston location, we’ve developed a rigorous process to ensure that every piece of wood meets our exacting standards. We personally inspect each board, examining grain patterns, moisture content, and structural integrity before it ever reaches your property.

We understand you desire a fence that’s built to last, which is why we’re meticulous about our wood selection. We’ve established direct relationships with trusted lumber suppliers who share our commitment to excellence. Through these partnerships, we’re able to secure premium cedar and pressure-treated pine that consistently exceeds industry standards.

• Each board undergoes a multi-point inspection for straightness, checking for warping, twisting, and bowing
• We maintain strict moisture content requirements of 15-19% to prevent future shrinkage and expansion
• All lumber must meet or exceed Grade A specifications, with minimal knots and no significant imperfections

Our selection process means you’ll receive materials that aren’t just beautiful on day one, but will maintain their integrity for years to come. We won’t compromise on quality because we’re aware your fence is an investment in your property’s value and security.

Treatment and Grading Standards

Professional wood treatment and grading standards form the backbone of every superior fence installation. We insist on using only properly treated lumber that meets or exceeds the American Wood Protection Association (AWPA) standards for ground contact and exterior use. Our team carefully inspects each piece for proper penetration depth and retention levels of preservative treatments.

We select lumber graded according to the Southern Pine Inspection Bureau (SPIB) standards, focusing on #2 grade or better for structural components. You’ll find that our posts and rails meet stringent requirements for strength, stiffness, and minimal defects.

When it comes to pickets and decorative elements, we use Select grade materials to guarantee a clean, uniform appearance.

In our treatment process, we don’t cut corners. Each piece receives pressure treatment with copper azole or ACQ preservatives at certified facilities. We’re dedicated to using fasteners and hardware that are rated for treated lumber to prevent corrosion.

After installation, we recommend applying a water-repellent sealer to enhance protection and extend your fence’s lifespan. Through these standards, we secure your fence will stand strong against Houston’s challenging climate.

Quality Control Measures

Rigorous quality control defines every aspect of our fence installation process. We maintain strict standards from material selection through final inspection, ensuring your fence meets our premium quality benchmarks. Our team conducts moisture content testing on every wood shipment and carefully inspects each board for structural integrity before installation.

We’ve developed a thorough quality control system that sets us apart in Houston’s fence construction industry. Our certified inspectors perform detailed checks at critical stages of installation, documenting every step to guarantee consistency and durability. We’re committed to using only premium-grade lumber that meets or exceeds industry specifications.

• Multi-point inspection protocol covering post depth, concrete foundation quality, and precise board alignment
• Regular calibration of installation equipment and tools to maintain accuracy standards
• Documented quality verification process with photographic evidence at key construction phases

You’ll benefit from our systematic approach to quality assurance, as each fence we install undergoes thorough testing for stability, alignment, and finish quality. We stand behind our work with detailed documentation and follow-up inspections, ensuring your fence maintains its integrity and appearance for years to come.

Building Code Compliance

Understanding Houston’s building codes is essential for any fence installation project. We guarantee complete compliance with all local regulations, including height restrictions, setback requirements, and permit processes. Our team stays current with Houston’s specific municipal codes and Harris County guidelines to protect your investment.

We’ll help you navigate the permit application process, which typically requires detailed site plans and property surveys. In Houston, most residential fences mustn’t exceed 8 feet in height in back yards and 4 feet in front yards.

We’ll also verify any deed restrictions or HOA requirements that might affect your fence installation. It’s important to understand that HOA regulations often dictate specific materials and styles to maintain community standards and aesthetic consistency.

Our contractors are well-versed in Houston’s wind load requirements, which are particularly important given our region’s hurricane risk. We’ll ensure proper post depth and spacing to meet these standards.

We also account for utility easements and underground services, coordinating with Texas811 for proper line marking before we dig. When you work with us, you can rest assured that your fence installation will meet all current building codes and stand up to municipal inspections.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Often Should I Apply Wood Preservative to My Fence?

Can Existing Trees Affect Where Fence Posts Can Be Installed?
