Cost And Materials
Quotes, cost and wood choices.
How much does fence installation cost?
It depends on the length, height, material, style, gates, and the condition of the site. We give you a free on-site estimate after a site visit. Fencing is priced per linear foot. See our guide to fence installation cost for the full list of factors.
How soon can you start?
We can normally get to customers within 2 weeks of signing a contract.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes. Estimates are free and on-site. We walk the project, agree on a scope, and give you a free estimate.
What is the difference between board on board and side by side?
Side by side puts pickets next to each other on one face of the rails. Board on board overlaps the boards so there are no gaps as the wood dries. Board on board gives more privacy and costs more because it uses more material.
Is cedar worth the extra cost over pine?
Cedar resists rot and insects better and holds its shape well, so many people choose it for a privacy fence. Pine costs less up front. We can quote both. See wood fence installation.
The Work
Services, timing and the job itself.
What fencing work do you take on?
Wood fences, wrought iron fences, chain link fences, driveway gates, agricultural fencing and commercial fencing, plus repair and staining. If you are not sure whether your job fits, call and describe it, and we will tell you straight either way.
Can you install pre-stained wood fences?
Yes. Pre-stained wood is one of the options we install. It gives you finished color on day one.
How long does a job take?
It depends on the size of the property, the materials and its condition, and we talk through timing with you at the estimate. Planning and approvals matter as much as the days on site. See fence installation time.
Will fence installation disrupt my yard or landscaping?
We keep disruption minimal. Post holes and material staging are contained to the fence line, and we clean up so your yard stays usable throughout the project.
How do I know if I need a repair or a full replacement?
A few loose boards or one leaning post is a repair. Several soft or leaning posts, or repeated repairs on the same line, point to replacement. Our guide to fence replacement explains the signs.
Can you build a driveway gate that opens automatically?
Yes. We install automatic and manual gates, with keypad, remote or phone-based entry. See driveway gate installation.
Rules And Scheduling
Permits, HOAs, weather and service area.
Do I need a permit for my fence?
It depends on your city and the height and type of fence. We check what your project needs during the quote so you know before work starts.
What about HOA rules?
Always check with your HOA before installing, especially if you are changing height, like going from a 6' fence to 8'. If the new fence matches what is already there, approval is usually straightforward, but confirm it first.
What happens if the weather turns bad?
We do not install in the rain. Wet ground means ruts in your yard and a messier job, so if rain is in the forecast, we move your install to the next available day rather than push through it.
Where do you install fences?
We are based in Keller and serve Watauga, North Richland Hills, Southlake, Westlake and Roanoke. Not sure if we cover your address? Call and ask. See all service areas.
What if something is wrong with my fence after it is installed?
Call us at (817) 308-8648 and tell us what you are seeing. We offer a 1 year warranty on workmanship and on an unusual change in the wood, and any wood claim is evaluated. After the first year, we will always come fix issues at low cost to our customers.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Superior Exterior Fencing is licensed and insured, and family-owned and locally owned in Keller since 2006.
Do you build custom gates?
Yes. We build our own iron gates in our fabrication shop. See driveway gates.
Do you install vinyl fencing?
Yes. We offer all types of fencing: wood, chain link, metal and vinyl.
Do you handle emergencies?
Yes, emergency service is available. Call (817) 308-8648.
What payment methods do you accept?
Card (with a 3% fee), cash and checks. We give a 2% discount for cash (not checks).
What are your hours?
Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm and Saturday 9am to 12pm. You can also request a callback with the quote form at any time.
