The single biggest driver. A typical residential backyard in Portland or Corpus Christi runs 150–250 linear feet. Measure your perimeter before calling — it helps us give you a faster, more accurate estimate.
Standard privacy fences are 6ft. Upgrading to 8ft adds roughly 25–35% to material cost. Commercial perimeter fences often run 8–10ft with added barbed wire.
South Texas caliche is notoriously hard. Our crews use hydraulic augers and steel-pipe posts to set deep, solid footings. This adds time but ensures your fence doesn't lean or heave over time.
Walk gates start at $225 (wood) to $800 (PVC). Double gates run $550–$1,500 depending on material. Automated slide or swing operators are quoted separately.
Within a few miles of the coast (Rockport, Port Aransas, Portland), salt air accelerates rust and wood rot. We recommend hot-dipped galvanized hardware, aluminum ornamental, or vinyl in these zones.
Tearing out an old fence adds $3 per linear foot for labor and haul-off. Most projects include this in the quote — just let us know upfront.

Most residential jobs (150–250 linear feet) take 1–2 days once materials are on-site. Commercial projects and automatic gate installs run 2–5 days. We'll give you a timeline in your estimate.
It depends on your city and fence type. Portland, Corpus Christi, and Rockport all have their own requirements — typically permits are required for fences over 6ft or any fence on a corner lot. IND handles the permit research for you and can pull permits on your behalf.
Chain-link remains the most cost-effective option per linear foot, especially for large acreage or commercial perimeters. For residential lots where appearance matters, treated-pine dog-ear picket is the most affordable wood option.
