Your Second Ward 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 Second Ward 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.

What the work involves

Our Fence Installation scope in Second Ward

Line confirmed and post holes dug to depth
Posts set in concrete and allowed to cure

Homes in Second Ward share the conditions of the surrounding Harris County communities: the same soils, the same weather load, the same building eras. Deed restrictions and HOA fence specs vary street by street here, and we build to the one that applies.

We do not quote fence installation sight unseen.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