Friendswood's mature cedar and oak trees stand on Gulf Coast clay that swells and shrinks with every wet-dry cycle, and that soil is the defining fact for every fence on these established, tree-shaded lots. When storms roll off Clear Creek or spring winds topple a post, homeowners in 77546 call Houston Fence Company because we know this neighborhood's terrain and we get the work done right.
We've been serving Friendswood and the surrounding Houston area since 2015. Our team handles wood and vinyl privacy fences, chain link, ornamental metal, gates, and the storm damage that comes with living near the water. Whether your cedar fence is leaning because the clay heaved the posts, or a gate is dragging after a hard blow, we show up with the same crew that did the job, and we propose repair before replacement whenever it makes sense.
Fencing in Friendswood (77546)
Friendswood sits on expansive clay soil that moves with the seasons. When the ground is wet, the clay swells and pushes fence posts out of plumb. When it dries, it shrinks and leaves posts racked or leaning. Add the humidity off Clear Creek and the salt air from the Gulf, and untreated wood rots at the ground line faster than you'd expect. Almost every leaning fence in this market is a post problem, not a panel problem. The cedar fences that define Friendswood's character are beautiful, but they need posts set deep in concrete, proper spacing to handle the soil movement, and regular staining every two to three years to fight the moisture and sun.
We've been working in Friendswood since 2015. Our team is fully insured and bonded, and we're members of the American Fence Association. We know the local building department rules, we work with HOAs in the master-planned subdivisions, and we handle everything from wood and vinyl privacy fences starting at $27 and $38 per linear foot, to chain link at $16 per foot, to ornamental iron at $42 per foot. We also repair leaning fences, replace rotted posts, install and repair gates, and handle pool barrier fencing installed to meet local pool barrier codes.

How a Fence Job Works in Friendswood
We start with a free on-site assessment. You call us at (832) 981-7212 or reach out online, and we come to your property to look at what you need. We measure the fence line, talk through your options (wood, vinyl, chain link, ornamental), confirm setback and height rules with the Friendswood building department or your HOA if you're in a master-planned community, and we'll walk you through cost and timeline. Before any digging, we order a Texas 811 utility locate to mark underground lines, because that's the law and it keeps everyone safe.
The work itself depends on what you're building or fixing. If it's a new fence, we set posts in concrete at proper spacing, hang rails, and attach pickets or panels. If it's a repair, we might replace a few rotted posts, re-brace a gate, or re-tension a chain link run. On tight Friendswood lots, we're careful about access and we keep the work contained. If you're in an HOA, we coordinate on materials and color to meet your deed restrictions.
When the job is done, we clean up the site, haul away old material, and walk through it with you. You get a fence that's built to handle Friendswood's clay, humidity, and weather.
Pricing for fencing in Friendswood depends on what you're building and what you choose. A wood privacy fence runs about $27 per linear foot, vinyl is around $38 per foot, and chain link is $16 per foot. Ornamental metal fencing is $42 per foot. If you need fence repair, we start at $450. Fence post repair and replacement, which is common here because of the clay, also starts at $450. Gate installation and repair start at $475. Pool barrier fencing runs about $34 per foot and is installed to meet local pool barrier codes. For a free estimate on your specific fence line, call us at (832) 981-7212. We'll measure, discuss your options, confirm local rules, and give you a straight price.
