Your Alief Fence Installation Crew
Posts set, lines run straight — that is the short version of how JM Painting approaches fence installation, and it does not change between the Alief area of Houston and anywhere else we work. What does change is the house: expansive clay soils in this region move posts that were not set deep enough, so the scope gets set on site.
Our Fence Installation scope in Alief
- Rails run level, pickets set to a consistent gap
- Gates hung with hardware sized to the leaf weight
- Line confirmed and post holes dug to depth
- Posts set in concrete and allowed to cure
Alief is one of the City of Houston's designated super neighborhoods, which means city permitting and inspection rules apply rather than a suburban city's. We confirm what a given scope needs before work starts.
A fence installation job in Alief starts with a free walkthrough, moves to a written scope you approve, then the work itself, then a punch walk with you before we call it finished.

What fence installation costs in Alief
We do not publish flat prices for fence installation, because two Alief homes can need very different amounts of work behind the same-looking job. What we can tell you is exactly what moves the number, and then put yours in writing after a free walkthrough.
- Post spec: depth, diameter and concrete, sized for clay soil movement
- Steel posts versus wood posts: the upgrade that outlasts the pickets
- Cedar versus treated pine, and picket style: side-by-side or board-on-board
- Linear feet, height and gate count
Why Alief homeowners call JM Painting
Homeowners in Alief mostly hire us twice: once to see if we are who we say we are, and again for everything after. 20+ years in, that is still the model — earn the small job, keep the standards identical on the big one.
Touch-ups and callbacks are where distance shows. Harris County is a standing route for our crews, so coming back to Alief to make something right is a detour, not a lost day, and it actually happens.
