Independence Heights Fence Installation
the Independence Heights area of Houston sits inside Harris County, and the housing stock changes street to street. We set the fence installation scope after looking at your house rather than off a price sheet, because Deed restrictions and HOA fence specs vary street by street here, and we build to the one that applies.
Our Fence Installation scope in Independence Heights
- Line confirmed and post holes dug to depth
- Posts set in concrete and allowed to cure
- Rails run level, pickets set to a consistent gap
- Gates hung with hardware sized to the leaf weight
Independence Heights 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 Independence Heights 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 Independence Heights
Beware of any contractor who prices fence installation sight unseen. These are the variables that decide the real number at your Independence Heights home, and why we look before we quote.
- Cedar versus treated pine, and picket style: side-by-side or board-on-board
- Linear feet, height and gate count
- Steel posts versus wood posts: the upgrade that outlasts the pickets
- Post spec: depth, diameter and concrete, sized for clay soil movement
