Fence Installation for Settegast Homeowners
Most fence installation problems we get called out to in the Settegast area of Houston trace back to preparation rather than product. Expansive clay soils in this region move posts that were not set deep enough. That is where our time goes on a Harris County job, and it is why the finish is still holding up years later.
Our Fence Installation scope in Settegast

Ask for references and we will point to work near Settegast, not across the metro — Harris County is a regular route for our crews, which is also why our scheduling estimates here tend to hold.
