Sheldon Fence Installation
Sheldon sits in Harris County with 2,361 people across roughly 2.5 square miles, and housing stock varies street to street. Our fence installation scope is set after we look 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.

Sheldon is an unincorporated community in Harris County covering about 2.5 square miles, home to 2,361 residents (2020 Census), with Channelview 4.7 miles out, Barrett 4.9 miles out, Cloverleaf 5.5 miles out. We treat it as one stop on a route, not a special trip.

- Tear-out and haul-off of the old fence
- Linear feet, height and gate count
Why Sheldon homeowners call JM Painting
We are not the cheapest bid in Harris County and do not try to be. The bid that skips preparation is cheaper right up until the work fails, and our Sheldon customers tend to be people who have bought that lesson once already.
Touch-ups and callbacks are where distance shows. With Channelview just 4.7 miles from Sheldon on the same route, coming back to make something right is a detour for us, not a lost day, so it actually happens.
