Fence Installation in University Place, Texas
Most fence installation problems we get called out to in the University Place 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.
