Aluminum Fence FAQs

Our aluminum fences are powder coated at the factory. A powder-coating added to an aluminum fence prevents corrosion and makes regular maintenance a breeze by sealing in the final color under a chemically bonded layer. It's accomplished by applying an electrostatically charged powder to the metal and baking it into a smooth coating.

If you are considering an aluminum fence for your Bastrop County property, you definitely want to protect the beauty and durability of your fence with a powder coating. No stress. We ONLY sell and install powder-coated aluminum fences for both residential and commercial applications.

Yes, they do!

Our aluminum fences have impressive warranties directly from the manufacturer. Depending on the specific brand and style of aluminum fence you choose, many of them come with a Limited Lifetime Warranty, ensuring that all aluminum fencing materials and powder-coated finishes will be free from manufacturing defects for the entire duration of the warranty period. Of course we will guide you through these important details to make sure you get the best warranty available.

We also offer our comprehensive workmanship warranty for every fence we install. We take pride in our work and our craftsmanship! We earn our outstanding reputation in Bastrop County one happy customer at a time.

Whether you need a residential aluminum fence or a commercial-grade aluminum fence, it generally only takes a few days maximum for one of our fence experts to get to most areas of Bastrop County to walk your property and give you a detailed estimate of your entire aluminum fence project.

You can certainly call us to get even faster answers from our fence experts!

Once you approve the estimate, we can often install aluminum fences in most of Bastrop County within 1 to 3 weeks, but please check with our office of your specific project. There are times throughout the year where that timeframe may be less, or it may be longer.

There are other things that can delay the start of a fencing project. If you select a specific aluminum fence style, color, or options that need to be special ordered, that will often delay the installation of your fence. Like nearly every fencing contractor in the Bastrop County, we do not stock a large amount of custom aluminum fencing options. We will help you to identify, in advance, any of your choices that are known to be likely to cause these additional delays, and we will offer alternatives whenever possible.

There is no bad time of year to get an aluminum fence in Bastrop County. As professional fencing contractors, we build fences across Bastrop County all year!

Fence placement is ultimately the responsibility of you, the customer. Moving a fence after it's already been installed can be costly, so it's never a bad idea to get a survey to be safe. In many cases, the property lines are clear and well-marked and installing your fence can be done without an official survey. However, some municipalities do require it, so be sure to check!

There are many small fence companies in Bastrop County that install aluminum fencing. Very few of them specifically train their teams on the best installation techniques and practices for installing aluminum fencing. Unfortunately, this means that your aluminum fence is almost certainly not installed as securely as it could be, which ultimately can reduce the quality and lifespan of your fence.

Inferior installation techniques and using improper tools can also damage the aluminum fence during installation which may have the unfortunate impact of voiding the manufacturer's warranty because you chose an unqualified contractor not approved by the manufacturer.

Also be sure to choose a reliable fence company that has been around. Here are some of the most common pitfalls of using an unreliable, unlicensed, or uninsured aluminum fencing contractor:

  1. The Aluminum Fence Warranty is Void
    If the company that installed your aluminum fence isn't still in business down the road, the workmanship warranty on the fence and the gates is worthless. Additionally, some manufacturers won't warranty their fence material if it was damaged during installation or installed improperly, which is fairly common.

  2. The Fence Almost Certainly Won't Last As Long
    As a professional fencing contractor, our team of installers undergoes rigorous training and constant professional supervision. We are dedicated to improving our knowledge and skills of the best fencing materials and the best fence installation techniques for aluminum fencing in order to maximize the strength and life of your fence. Companies that simply install fences as something they do "on the side" usually have no idea how much they actually don't know about aluminum fencing or what is best for you and your property.

  3. Putting Your Property at Risk
    Installing aluminum fences in the Bastrop County area is actually somewhat risky. Sudden, harsh weather during the installation of a fence can blow materials, damaging your business or customer's cars. We've seen concrete splatter up onto cars or drip down long stretches of walkways and driveways as wet concrete or other materials are transported. The secondary damage to businesses or your customers' vehicles while installing fences by poorly trained labor is a very common thing.

    Additionally, anyone hurt on your property while they are working puts you at risk! If you hire an unqualified fencing contractor, you may be liable.

At first glance, hiring a "cheaper" fence company to install your aluminum fence may appear to save you a few dollars, but in the long run it is almost certainly a price that you simply cannot afford to pay!

Chain Link Fence FAQs

Yes! We are a leading chain link fencing contractor across the entire Bastrop County area.

Our crews are experienced and specially trained in the latest techniques for installing chain link fences, ensuring your fence is installed properly, will look great, function properly, and will hold up to the harsh weather typical of Bastrop County.

Chain link fencing is a popular option for homes and businesses in the Central Texas region. Chain link fences are strong yet lightweight. Together with their galvanized coating, chain link fences easily stand up to the harsh weather conditions of Central Texas while also resisting rust and corrosion.

If a durable, reliable fence is what you want, look no further than chain link fencing.

It's fairly easy to secure your chain link fence from being able to be pushed out for a pet to escape. A tension wire can be added to the bottom of the chain link to keep it from being pushed out by children or animals. If a tension wire is not enough, a bottom rail could also be installed for an even stronger barrier.

Yes, they do!

Our chain link fences have impressive warranties directly from the manufacturer. Depending on the specific options you choose, many of them come with a Limited Lifetime Warranty, ensuring that all chain link fencing materials and vinyl finishes will be free from manufacturing defects for the entire duration of the warranty period. Of course we will guide you through these important details to make sure you get the best warranty available.

We also offer our comprehensive workmanship warranty for every fence we install. We take pride in our work and our craftsmanship! We earn our outstanding reputation in Bastrop County one happy customer at a time.

Chain link fencing is unique in its ability to be utilized for such a wide array of applications. Listed below are some of the most popular applications of chain link fencing:

  • Chain Link Fencing for Athletic Areas
    Athletic areas and children's parks almost exclusively use chain link fencing.
  • Chain Link Fencing for Pool Areas
    Chain link fencing is very popular for protecting residential and commercial pool areas across the Bastrop County area. Adding the non-corrosive vinyl coating makes chain link fencing a great option for pool fencing in Bastrop County.
  • Chain Link Security Fencing
    Chain link fencing is the most popular type of security fencing in Bastrop County, due to a large number of security add-ons available for the top of the fence and the height that a chain link fence can be designed and built. If securing your property is your primary objection, chain link fencing may be your perfect solution.

There is no bad time of year to get a chain link fence in Bastrop County. As professional fencing contractors, we build fences across Bastrop County all year!

There are certain times during the year when our installation schedule is busier, but our installation team always does its best to get you the fence you need right when you need it. Reach out today to find out what our current schedule looks like! We always have room for one more fence!

Vinyl Fence FAQs

Yes! We are a leading vinyl fencing contractor across the entire Bastrop County area.

Our crews are experienced and specially trained in the latest techniques for installing vinyl fences, ensuring your fence is installed properly, will look great, function properly, and will hold up to the harsh weather typical of Bastrop County.

Vinyl fences are an excellent choice for property owners looking for privacy. By far, the most popular privacy fence across Bastrop County is the standard 6ft white vinyl privacy fence. However, there are many other options! Taller fences give even more privacy. You can also choose semi-privacy options that obscure most of the view into your yard but also have decorative design features and come in many popular color choices.

Prices on vinyl fences are highly dependent on the amount of fencing you need as well as the exact style, height, and options you select.

We provide vinyl fencing quotes for free! Simply reach out to our team through our online form or give us a call and our team of friendly, experienced staff will be glad to walk you through the process and plan a consultation.

Another huge benefit to your immediate environment and to the health of your family and pets is that vinyl fencing does not require harsh cleaners, or paint, or sealers, all of which may contain harsh or even toxic chemicals.

Important!

We encourage you to speak with one of our fence experts before focusing solely on price! There are cheaper, very poor quality vinyl fence brands available that are not nearly as durable, will fade, will often warp, and have limited, if any, warranty. We don't use them.

There are also very inexperienced and unprofessional fence installers who continually cut corners and don't stand behind their work, regardless of what their so-called-warranty says.

Vinyl fences must stand up to the physical demands of the Bastrop County weather, and physical abuse from falling branches, landscapers, neighbors, animals, and more.

Shopping for the cheapest fence is usually not the best way to make a decision about the fence you want to protect and beautify your property.

Make it Easy on Yourself!

Our vinyl fence experts will gladly come to your property and take all the measurements you need and help you design your fence! We are a full service fence company that specializes in vinyl fence installation … you do not need to work hard to get a great new fence to protect your home or business.

DIY Fence Estimate

If you'd like to get a rough idea on your own about how much fencing you will need, follow these easy steps:

  • If you happen to know the dimensions of the area you wish to enclose, simply add the length of each side together. Use a tape measure. Rough estimates are fine, there is no need to be too precise, this is just a rough estimate at this point.
  • Be sure to subtract the length of any structures, like a building or a storage shed that will serve as part of the barrier. This will give you a rough estimate as to how much fencing you will need.
  • An additional step to get greater accuracy for the amount of vinyl fencing you will need, is to also subtract the length of any gates you will be using. The gates are often priced much differently than the fencing is. For this reason we usually recommend to property owners who are looking to develop their own fence estimate, to list the gates separately. A standard vinyl walk gate is approx 4 feet wide and a standard vinyl drive gate can easily be 10 feet wide or more.

Caution!

Vinyl fencing is priced and sold by SECTIONS, not by linear feet! Even when the linear footage is included specifically on price estimates, the total number of vinyl fence sections is a factor in this pricing. So, "price per linear foot" is only a rough estimate and rarely represents the actual cost of the finished vinyl fence!

This is a very interesting difference that we would love to explore and explain to you if you'd like to speak with one of our fence experts further. Be aware, "price per linear foot" is a ploy that many unprofessional fence installers in the Bastrop County area use!

Fence placement is ultimately the responsibility of you, the customer. Moving a fence after it's already been installed can be costly. It's never a bad idea to get a survey to be safe. However, in many cases we are more than happy to assist you in locating your property lines and installing your fence without an official survey. In many cases, the property lines are clear and well-marked. In these cases, paying for a survey is probably not necessary.

Ornamental Iron Fence FAQs

With their durability and long-lasting design, ornamental iron fences are a great choice for many residential and commercial properties across the Bastrop area and beyond. The variety of styles, colors, and decorative options make ornamental iron a versatile option that can accommodate many fencing requirements.

One of the most appealing aspects of ornamental iron fences is their resistance to rust and corrosion. The metal's engineering and the protective coating it comes with help assure a long-lasting product with minimal maintenance and no peeling or chipping. You can also have peace of mind thanks to the manufacturer's warranty, which protects your fence.

Another great benefit to using ornamental iron is that it is recyclable and can be put to use for something else. You will likely never need to replace your ornamental iron fence and they can last for decades. The material is easily recyclable and reusable and can be easily melted down and repurposed. So, the chance that your metal fence will end up in a landfill is very low.

Ornamental iron fences hold up well to all weather types, including rain and snow. Plus, it is pest-resistant. You won't need to worry about termites or other insects gnawing on its parts. They also won't warp or fade due to water or excessive sun exposure.

Ornamental iron fencing needs very little maintenance over its lifetime at your Bastrop property. For the most part, all you need is water and a cleaning liquid to keep your fences in pristine condition. Being proactive is the best way to make sure your fence will last without any issues by not planting bushes too close to your fence and avoiding damaging your fence with lawn tools. Other than a rinse every now and then, your ornamental iron fence should need no major cleaning or repairs, and you'll also receive a manufacturer's warranty that should cover major problems for your peace of mind.

Farm Fence FAQs

Traditionally, farm fencing includes wooden post and rail fencing, split rail fences, pipe fences, and high tensile fences. Welded wire can be added to post and rail fences for specific small animal yards. There are variations of each type based on what you need to enclose.

Our team of fence experts is happy to discuss your specific needs and find the perfect solution for your Bastrop County property.
