Expert Fence Contractors in Magnolia, TX

This is the most common question we are asked. We do not locate property pins. We will install your new fence where the old fence was located unless specifically instructed by you to move the fence to a different location. If you are concerned about the property pins, you will need to have a survey done.

You are responsible for informing us about private utilities. Examples are a propane gas pipe from your tank to your house; gas lights in your yard; gas grills; underground lawn sprinklers; and swimming pool lines. If you have any of these lines, please let us know before your fence installation. We will inform the public utilities and have these lines marked.

We will be happy to visit your home or business to determine an estimated price for your fence project. We can tell you the cost, including labor, supplies, and taxes. We provide pricing by the job, not the foot. If you want to split the cost of the fence with neighbors, we can tell you how much each side of the fence will cost.

You will notice that most fences are installed to average about 1 inch above grade. This allows natural water drainage and holds the fence off the ground. The Houston area is flat, but it is not level. The fence (especially noticeable with baseboards) often touches the ground in places and is considerably off the ground in other places. This is normal for the yards in our area.

At Summit Fence North, we recommend cedar for wooden fences. Other wood tends to warp and twist with the heat and humidity in southeast Texas, while cedar weathers to a beautiful, natural shade and retains its original shape and strength.
