Fence Repair: Neartown-Montrose, Harris County
Board by board or a full run — that is the short version of how JM Painting approaches fence repair, and it does not change between the Neartown-Montrose area of Houston and anywhere else we work. What does change is the house: storm damage in this area tends to take whole panels rather than single boards, so the scope gets set on site.
Our Fence Repair scope in Neartown-Montrose
- Posts checked at grade, where they fail first

Neartown-Montrose 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.
We do not quote fence repair sight unseen. Someone comes out to Neartown-Montrose, measures and inspects, and you get a scope that says what is included and what is not before you commit to anything.
