Hitchcock Fence Repair
Hitchcock sits in Galveston County with 7,710 people across roughly 60.4 square miles, and housing stock varies street to street. Our fence repair scope is set after we look at your house rather than off a price sheet, because A rotted post will pull a new panel down with it, so posts get sorted first.

- Gates re-squared so they latch again
- Posts checked at grade, where they fail first
- Broken pickets and sagging rails replaced

Set in Galveston County, Hitchcock spans about 60.4 square miles with a population of 7,710 (2023 est.); Bayou Vista sits 5.1 miles away and Tiki Island 5.7, both inside our coverage.
